TYME OUT's Confirmation Retreat guides teens as they prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Catholic Church. Activities include faith sharing, prayer, scripture, community building, and decision making. This retreat concentrates on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which were given to us at Baptism. Teens who decide to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation will be sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Processes on this retreat could include discussion, small group activities, meaningful games along with the sacrament of Reconciliation and Eucharist.
