High School Confirmation

Overlying Theme: Witnesses of Faith-The Saints
 
GOAL: The goal of this is session is for the teens to see the communion of saints as their extended family, to understand what it means to be a witness of the faith, and to get to know a few modern saints.
 
KEY CONCEPTS: 

• Confirmation calls us to be witnesses of faith and provides us with the graces to do so.
• Being a witness means being a martyr; martyrdom does not necessarily mean dying for the faith, but requires a willingness to sacrifice and suffer for truth. 
• When learning how to become better witnesses, we should look to the examples of other members of the Church — particularly Mary and the saints.
