Workshop Overview

Explore the effects and fruits of the Sacrament of Confirmation how you can lead your students to proclaim the Gospel like the Apostles. You’ll also learn how to help your students see the true meaning of this Sacrament, and why it is so much more than a Catholic graduation or a public acceptance of the Catholic Faith.

This Workshop blends scholar presentations with interactive pedagogical sessions, giving you a chance to explore content with a respected scholar, as well as explore and simulate practical teaching strategies with ready-to-use classroom materials. Share best practices and enjoy catered breakfast and lunch with your fellow Diocese of Salina teachers and catechists.
