Acting for justice is an important part of our faith, so we provide support for you to include global justice issues in Confirmation programmes with young people
Some resources are designed specifically for Confirmation - but most CAFOD youth resources are suitable, so please do not restrict yourself to just the ones listed here.
Also, if you would like help to kick-start your Confirmation programme, or want to revamp your own sessions, just get in touch.
From a masterclass on a particular resource, to providing background on Catholic social teaching (CST), or an introduction to CAFOD, we can help.
Get a group together, decide what to focus on, then email youth@cafod.org.uk
