What are Confirmation Retreats?

Excellent events to helping Parishes prepare for Confirmation

FacetoFace Ministries leads retreats that foster encounters with Jesus Christ and inspire the response to become saints. Confirmation Retreats are no exception. In addition to focusing on Confirmation and the Holy Spirit, participants receive the gospel message in an engaging way.

With a wonderful balance of outrageous fun, engaging talks, and impacting prayer moments, youth can experience and receive God’s love.

Confirmation Retreats can be adapted for a full day or half day/evening.

We are here to assist the faith journey that has already begun in the home and parish.

What do people say about Face to Face Confirmation Retreats?

"As a pastor, I have invited FacetoFace to lead the Confirmands of my parish in retreat for the last 4 years. Their approach is firmly rooted in the Tradition of the Church, strives to give a real depth of faith to the kids, while maintaining approachability to those at various points of their journey of faith. I have witnessed the kids engaged throughout the whole day and overall better prepared for the Sacrament.”
- Fr. Kris Schmidt

“This was the best Confirmation Retreat we have had! From formation to prayer, FacetoFace led us beautifully.”

- Parish Coordinator of Sacramental Preperpations

“Our students were truly blessed by Jon’s ability to connect with them by role plays, songs, analogies, and personal testimony. The retreat FacetoFace led helped in the students’ preparation of their understanding of what Confirmation means in their lives. For this we thank you!”
- Arlene Low

What are Youth Conferences? (Diocesan or Parish based)

Excellent events with the power to change a youth’s life.

FacetoFace Ministries leads conferences that foster encounters with Jesus Christ and inspire the response to become saints. Youth Conferences have a big stage feel with a full band, lights, etc., to wow the audience while blending upfront stage-lead ministry with relational ministry. They include powerful keynote talks, impacting prayer moments, and outrageous fun. Relying on the power of the Sacraments (Eucharist and Reconciliation) is also an import aspect of Youth Conferences.

Youth Conferences are bigger events for groups of 100+ and are typically a full day in length. Our target audiences are grades 6-8 or 9-12.
