Confirmation FAQs

My teen is unsure he wants to be Catholic.  What should I do?
As a parent, it is your duty to educate and inspire your child to follow Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the Catholic faith and make available to them the Sacraments of the Church.  As a parent it is right for you to require your child to participate in religious education and preparation for Confirmation.  However, because of your child's age, he or she cannot be forced to believe, to worship, or to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.  So, we recommend you lovingly require your child to attend and participate, while simultaneouly giving them the freedom, at the end of the day, to say "no" after giving it an honest,  sincere, open try.
