Confirmation

Decision Point (Dynamic Catholic)
Decision Point is a video based Confirmation preparation program for teens.  Dynamic Catholic founder Matthew Kelly has made this program available to parishes for free.   Parents can access the program online through the Dynamic Catholic website.   If your parish is using this program it might be quite helpful to view the videos and follow along with your child as they progress through the preparation.

Catholic Saints Research Projects (Ave Maria Press)
One of the most popular projects assigned in religious education programs is a research project on the saints. Confirmation candidates almost always have to do some research on their Confirmation saint and many Catholic school teachers find such research to be very valuable in supplementing the lessons of the year.  This site is a great place to start researching.
