All of us at St Francis de Sales are excited to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation with you and your families.  As much as we would love to help you and your classmates prepare for the sacrament with a group retreat, it is just not possible.  Please use this material and the options presented with your family or with your sponsor. 
This is a time for you to deepen your understanding of the Church, your faith and God’s unending love for you.  This is your time to appreciate the place your faith has in your life, to engage in prayer, reflection, and the knowledge that God loves you and you are unique and wonderfully made.

We have included three virtual retreats you can use.  Whatever option you choose to use, please know you are not alone.  Your classmates are praying with you, your parish is praying for you and above all, the Holy Spirit is waiting to enter your heart and set you on fire with God’s love.  Create a space in your room or home; Light a candle; Place a Bible and Crucifix on the table with the candle.  Trust what the Lord wants to do for you…use this time wisely.

The first two options are virtual retreats created by the Diocese of Fort Wayne/South Bend and the Archdiocese of Washington.  Click on the links below and decide which one fits your family and time frame.

The two above retreats are copyrighted source formation materials made available through the Archdiocese of Washington and the Diocese of Fort Wayne/South Bend.
