It was great to hear other's questions and thoughts about Confirmation last night. Thank you Jenifer for offering such a great foundation and practical ideas about this big topic. As Jenifer mentioned, our diocese developed Confirmation guidelines a few years ago after numerous questions from clergy that were very similar to what we were asking last night. The bishop formed a Task Force, and the guidelines were a result of them. My thesis at VTS was on Confirmation, so some of the research had already been done. You can download the guidelines (at the bottom of the page) at http://www.ctdiocese.org/resources/christi...ildguidelines.shtml. The guidelines include how to use mentors, why retreats, age, content, service, etc. Peace! Sharon
