"…found to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.”

In just six sessions…

BE SEALED presents Confirmation as a sacrament of initiation and offers an overview of the theology of salvation, the person, work and gifts of the Spirit, and of the sacramental signs in a way that can spark active and intelligent participation in the celebration of the Rite of Confirmation.

20th century Catholic witnesses-representing four continents and four states in life-serve as vocational models for young people.

A comprehensive and flexible approach to Confirmation!

As an introduction Be Sealed offers an overview of the sacrament of Confirmation and its celebration, preparing young people for a full-length program.

As a final “wrap up” Be Sealed provides a shared experience for candidates who went through distinct courses of preparation: for example, Catholic school students and students from the parish program who will be confirmed together.

As a complete program in parishes with a comprehensive youth ministry already in place, Be Sealed suffices as a focused sacramental text which builds on and contributes to the lived parish experience.
