The Ultimate Confirmation Experience

DECISION POINT is the first Confirmation program specifically developed to engage young

Catholics in a meaningful conversation about the genius of Catholicism. It teaches and

inspires teens to respond to God’s grace, and it’s changing hundreds of thousands of young

lives. Today, DECISION POINT is the most used Confirmation program in America.

Before we could create the most dynamic program available, we needed to understand what

was and wasn’t effective in engaging young Catholics in their faith. We conducted hundreds

of interviews, analyzed every Confirmation program available, and explored best practices 
among other Christian churches and groups. What we learned shaped our entire program. 
 
That’s why DECISION POINT consists of 72 short films, a student workbook, and a leader 
guide. That’s why the content meets teens where they are in their everyday lives. And that’s 
why the program is available for free.

SDC RE Resources - Confirmation

Here you can find a series of worksheets for use in Confirmation programmes or

printing at home. Our aim is to try to provide worksheets and other materials for

catechists and teachers as well as candidates following confirmation courses.

The programme is made up of twelve sessions. (Click here for topics and session titles). It is

intended to cover all necessary aspects of preparation that should be included in a

confirmation course. As in the case of all other worksheets on our website, these

confirmation worksheets, session plans and prayer sheets can be downloaded using Adobe

reader.

This programme has been designed with flexibility in mind. Though the progamme is designed for 12

sessions, the resources can be adapted for a longer or shorter course with fewer or more sessions as

required by different parishes. Sessions 1 and 2 for example could be merged to form one session.

One or two sessions can be done as part of a confirmation away day.

For those who would like to do the catechesis programme over more than 12 sessions, one could

extend work on some of the topics such as:

o Follow up to Unit 7: Extra session or two to discuss and work on moral issues and the

Catholic point of view.

o Follow up to Unit 10: Extra session to discuss and research about the life of the chosen

saint.

o Supplementary Unit S1: The Holy Bible: God’s Written Word.

o Supplementary Unit S2: God’s Law: Understanding the Ten Commandments.

These last two sessions are included in the programme below.

loveourcatholicfaith.com- Roman Catholic Confirmation Program

This confirmation material is based on reflections on Holy Scripture and the 1994 Catechism

of the Catholic Church. It was developed over three years of preparing teenage candidates

to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Through Group Discussion and Class Activities,

this program can help Catechists teach from the Catechism of the Catholic Church in a way

that reaches our teenagers.
