Adult Confirmation Preparation Classes

[PerlaDelRosario]

I have been thinking of attending adult confirmation classes at a church nearby. I visited their church website and this is what I read:

“Catholic Adults desiring the Sacrament of Confirmation need an interview prior to beginning the sessions. You will be asked to obtain a copy of your baptismal record and the mailing address of the Church of Baptism”.

The word interview made me nervous because I’m not sure what I’m going to be asked. I think I would feel less nervous if I knew what I’m going to be asked or why the interview is required. The unknown makes me uncomfortable, lol.

Don’t stress! The interview is really just to see where you are in your faith life and knowledge of the Church. They will probably ask about if you are married, if it was in the church, if you have children, where they are in their sacraments, that kind of stuff so they can make sure there isn’t anything else that needs to be sorted out before confirmation.

There are unlimited positions available and when you take the element of competition out it is not so scarey!

It’s not exactly a job interview. I got interviewed without realizing it was an interview. When I inquired about RCIA, I met with the parish’s education director and we just chatted about what I already knew about the church, why I wanted to join and where I was baptized. The word “Interview” is way too intimidating for what it really is. It’s usually chitchat.

the interview is simply to ascertain your needs, be they sacramental, pastoral, or practical. We want to know your background, see what sacraments you are lacking, if there are marriage issues to resolve, if there are others in the family who need sacraments and/or religious instruction so we can help them, your schedule, in short, everything we need to know to give you what you need, not just fit you into a program.
