yet it’s solemnity is not impressed upon the youth through catechesis alone. The relationship that must be developed with the Holy Spirit for confirmandi to be prepared for the sacrament needs to be experienced outside of a classroom and text book.
This is where a retreat at Our Lady of the Fields really stands out.
At OLF, our confirmation retreat activities and talks are specifically geared towards aiding
confirmandi to be courageous and develop their relationship with the Holy Spirit.
