EMPOWERED Confirmation Programme sees successful Zoom Launch

Sunday 14th March 2021

On Tuesday 2nd March, Catechists from around the Diocese and beyond gathered on Zoom for the launch of a new Confirmation programme called ‘EMPOWERED’.

Bishop John welcomed and thanked all those who were involved in preparing candidates for the Sacrament. There was an overview of the structure of the programme which is based on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit with extra sessions on the fruits of the Holy Spirit, the rite of Confirmation and post Confirmation.

It was explained that the sessions are designed to be used online, in person or a mixture of both. Each session is designed to last around one hour and can be downloaded as PowerPoint or PDF files. Each session is complete but can be adapted by those delivering the sessions. Attendees had chance to see one of the sessions in action along with some safeguarding guidance and chance to ask any questions.
