CONFIRMATION 
PURPOSE is Life Teen's transformative plan for confirmation preparation.
Purpose is designed to help proclaim the Gospel message to young people while providing an atmosphere where they are accompanied by adult leaders toward discipleship.
The curriculum is based on the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops’ recommendations for high school Confirmation Programs and also the Eight Components of Youth Ministry as outlined in the Bishops’ Document Renewing the Vision.
 
PURPOSE assumes participation in LifeTeen for two years (27 months) with the additional Confirmation Program beginning midway through the second year. This is usually the Sophomore year (grade 10), but assumes completion of a year's active participation in LifeTeen in grade 9.   [Teens can begin the 27 month Life Teen program later than 9th grade but the Confirmation Year is always November after two full years (plus 3 months) of Life Teen attendance, plus Confirmation sessions during the last year].                 
When participation in the Life Teen Program begins September of Freshman year (grade 9), it continues for 27 months, with Confirmation expected November of Junior year (grade 11).
 
Components of the Confirmation Program include submission of a letter of intent by the candidate to enter into the program outlining why the candidate feels ready to prepare for Confirmation, a home visit, active participation in the entire LifeTeen program including all catechetical, spiritual (including weekly Mass attendance) and service components, active participation in four SuperSaturdays where topics specific to Confirmation will be presented and discussed, active participation at all services in the Triduum during Holy Week and attending the Confirmation Retreat weekend.
 
Confirmation Program begins with and is in addition to participation in Lifeteen.
