Confirmation journey was fun, honest, and the best thing that ever happened to me! I love being Catholic, and I learned a lot about myself during Confirmation.
For me, I was excited for Confirmation to start. I looked forward to growing closer to God and learning something about myself. Throughout the process and especially after the retreat I really feel like I did both.
First off I hated it, I began to enjoy it a little before the Confirmation retreat, and afterwards I loved Confirmation!
Confirmation revealed my strengths and weaknesses in my spiritual, physical, and mental life. I learned to share myself and what I thought and I got in return was listeners and respect. Confirmation helped me to see how Christ worked in my everyday life and how powerful prayer can be.
I started out as getting confirmed because that’s what you do, but as the sessions got going, I learned more about my faith and it turned into me doing it because that’s what I wanted not because it’s what my parents wanted. As I learned what being Catholic really meant, it started to mean more to me, and became more personal. And getting confirmed didn’t have to mean being perfect in your faith, but announcing to everyone that you wanted to explore and live it.
Confirmation was a life changing experience. I got to meet a lot of new people and really amazing people. I grew in my faith in more ways than I ever expected. I have become more confident in myself and in trusting god.
I have to be honest, I kinda hated church but I was forced to go. I began to enjoy church because of the Confirmation Retreat. After the retreat I joined Retreat Team and I’ve loved it ever since!
Difficult. Fun. Satisfying. Confirmation was difficult at first because I had to figure out where I was in my faith and then learned from other people. I had a fun time with the retreats and hanging out with everyone during the process and when it was over it was satisfying because it was all worth it and my faith was much stronger than where it began and I gained a lot of relationships.
Confirmation was a serious thrill ride. The journey had its ups and downs and showed me why I wanted to stay Catholic. I’m so glad God gave me the gifts of the Holy Spirit when I confirmed my faith in Him.
