Send Out Your Spirit leads teens through the core truths of the Catholic faith--the Trinity, Jesus, Scripture, the Church, morality, the sacraments, and more--within the specific context of preparing for Confirmation. Rooted in Catholic tradition and adapted for today's learners, the Candidate's Handbook provides candidates in junior high and high school with the foundational content of the faith they need as they prepare to personally embrace the promises first made for them at Baptism and renewed in Confirmation.
Now in its third edition, the Candidate's Handbook has been developed in full alignment with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and has been found in conformity with it. This refreshed and accessible edition features a four-part structure across ten engaging chapters, designed to support both candidates and catechists in preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Each chapter includes the following:
- Introduction--Presents the chapter's theme and focus.
- Four Main Content Sections--Teach core Catholic truths, supported by comprehension and discussion questions.
- Pull-Out Feature--Highlights how the chapter's topic is lived out in the Church today, often through the example of a saint.
- Living the Faith--Encourages practical application of the chapter's lessons through four key actions: Study, Do, Memorize, and Reflect.
Designed not only to inform but to form, the program fosters faith-based friendships among adolescent candidates and strengthens relationships with supportive adults--both in their personal lives and within the parish community. Built-in opportunities for study, prayer, and reflection help candidates explore what the Church believes and how those beliefs shape their identity as members of the Body of Christ.
Faithful to the Church's vision that catechesis is an apprenticeship in the Christian life, Send Out Your Spirit emphasizes both what we believe and how we are called to live--in union with Christ and one another--as active witnesses to the faith.
This edition also features new Living the Faith assignments, engaging new chapter openers, updated integration of prayer and Christian service as foundational components of preparation for Confirmation, and an expanded appendix--all supported by an easy-to-follow design.
