For we walk by faith, not by sight. - 2 Corinthians 5:7

Our dynamic Pathfinder Confirmation Program has been carefully crafted and refined through the experiences of its leaders, combining tradition with innovative approaches to invite today’s teens to engage deeply with their Catholic faith. Through powerful, tried-and-true activities—including faith-filled retreats, service projects, and small group discussions—students will be challenged, inspired, and empowered to live out their Confirmation with confidence.
It is our hope that teens who commit to this program and allow the Holy Spirit to work through them will walk away with:
1.
A Deepened Personal Relationship with Christ – Through prayer, reflection, and guided spiritual exercises, students will grow closer to Jesus and understand how He is present in their daily lives.
2. A Strong Sense of Catholic Identity – Teens will gain a profound understanding of the Sacraments, the teachings of the Church, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, helping them live as committed Catholics.
3. A Heart for Service and Evangelization – By engaging in community service and learning to share their faith with others, students will embrace their call to be witnesses of Christ in the world.
By fully embracing the journey of Confirmation, students will be empowered to live out their faith, guided by the Holy Spirit, and ready to face the future with courage and grace.
