Gifted by God

Overview

Gifted by God is a contemporary guide for parish catechists who are preparing candidates for Confirmation and provides everything the catechist needs to deliver the program with ease and confidence. This program includes six sessions on living out a Christian life and the sacraments with an end-of-session retreat.

In addition to the leader’s guide , the candidate’s book leads teens through the major principles of their faith. Through reading and reflection, youth will learn more about Confirmation and their vocation to live their faith and serve God’s people.

Pastors, religious educators and catechists will welcome this Confirmation program prepared by leading Canadian faith formation experts.
