Confirmed in the Joy of the Spirit

At Home Instructions 2026 - 2027

Thank you for being a part of our Faith on Fire Confirmed in the Joy of the Spirit at-home program for Faith on Fire this year!  This program provides additional background for Confirmation preparation here at Saint Maximilian Kolbe Church.  This WILL NOT replace the Confirmation preparation program.

‍Weekly lessons can be found below:

‍Please submit each week’s materials either via email to rburbrink@saint-max.org  OR  submit paper version to the SACRAMENT “MAILBOX” which can be found on top of the mailboxes in the breezeway. Please include your child(ren)’s name(s) on all pages of a document.  Answers can be written on the lessons, written on lined paper or typed separately in WORD (NOT GOOGLE) documents. 

‍ There are 24 lessons to complete this year.  Lessons will be released each Sunday beginning on September 13th.  You have one week to complete each lesson.  For example, the lesson released on September 13th will be due on September 20th.  Lessons will include 3 sections to be completed:

1.       Gospel readings/reflections (readings included with the lesson).  There are two possible ways to "reflect" on the Gospel (ONE is required):

• If you have other children doing Gospel Weeklies, please feel free to continue to reflect as a family and submit the reflection through the JOT FORM.  Please indicate this is what you have done.  

• Provide thoughtful, complete answers to the questions that follow the Gospel.

2.       Confirmed in the Joy of the Spirit book reading and reflections.

3.       Foundations of our Catholic faith activities for reviewing/reflecting/researching. ‍

Please hold on to ALL materials for the year, just tucking them back into the bag you received at the beginning of the year.  If you are turning in hard copies of the materials, please let me know if you would like me to return them at the end of the year.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
