Should my parents be involved in my confirmation journey?

You may have been told that your parents said “yes” to God for you at your Baptism, but at Confirmation, it’s your turn to make your own Christian commitment. You are beginning to take responsibility for your faith journey, but as it is with the other areas of your life, you do not have complete control yet. Your parents or guardians are still responsible for you.

As a young person, your choice and preparation are a joint effort. In accompanying you through this process, your parents are trying to guide you along a path of wholeness and happiness for life. Your responsibilities for your Christian development will increase as you grow toward adulthood. In receiving Confirmation during the teen years, your parents or guardians can be significant guides as they try to keep you steady on the way of Christian formation begun at your baptism.
