Purpose
“When we receive him in our hearts, Christ makes himself present and takes shape in our lives.”
Pope Francis
Purpose is Christ the King Catholic Parish's preparation program for the sacrament of Confirmation.
Our program strives to foster growth in understanding of the sacraments, meaningful interactions within our families and with others on our faith journey, and life-long intentional discipleship

Lessons
September Purpose lesson summary
Our kickoff session was a beautiful gathering with more than a hundred people in attendance with the shared mission of supporting our Confirmation candidates here at Christ the King this year.
We talked about how our Confirmation preparation will be structured and learned our first ‘golden ticket’ items (my method to highlight important concepts our children will be focusing on). I encourage you to work with your child on ways that these golden tickets can be incorporated into their life.
1. What does being a DISCIPLE mean?
Praying,
Obeying the laws of God,
Witnessing your faith to others,
and Serving others
2. What are the Sacraments of Initiation?
Baptism
First Eucharist
Confirmation
3. What is Sanctifying grace?
The grace that comes through the sacraments
October Purpose lesson summary
Our October Purpose session was a dynamic encounter with our candidates and volunteers doing group activities and getting to know each other better as we learned about this week’s golden tickets:
THE THREE PERSONS OF THE TRINITY
- Father
- Son
- Holy Spirit
THE CHURCH AS A SACRAMENT OF SALVATION
- Sign of our communion with God
- Instrument of our communion with God
- Means by which God gives us grace
THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS
- Christ unites all members of the Church on earth, the souls in purgatory, and the saints in heaven to Himself and all to one another
Our Bible Adventure included finding verses in the Bible referring to the persons of the Trinity which led nicely into the beginning of our discussion about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. We have now talked about Wisdom and Counsel and discussed in our groups how we encounter them in our lives. How beautiful it is to see the concepts we are learning brought to life through our candidates’ reflections and experiences!
