Although these active parishioners have been baptized and regularly receive the Eucharist, for various reasons they have not yet been confirmed. This leads to a unique situation, because neither an adolescent confirmation preparation program nor the RCIA process is appropriate for their sacramental preparation. In this resource, developed in light of these special circumstances, Mary Birmingham has created five sessions that will minister to the needs of adult, baptized, and catechized Catholics seeking confirmation. Flowing from a solid foundation of sacramental theology, and the liturgical and catechetical documents, this book will be your guide for preparing adult Catholics for confirmation. 017184 Paperback 8½ x 11 ....... $19.95 Part of the Fountain of Life Series Sessions by Faith Formation Sessions by Mary Birmingham in three accessible resources: Mary Birmingham is the director of music, liturgy, and Christian Initiation at Ascension Catholic Community in Melbourne, Florida.
