How parents can make the day of Confirmation special for their child:
Ask family and friends to pray for your child and let your child know
Write a letter to your child to be opened on Confirmation day. Possible thoughts to share: How faith has helped you, what’s next for your child’s faith journey, ways to recognize the Holy Spirit
Have grandparents, godparents, older siblings, and other important persons write letters to your child that is given to him/her on Confirmation night
Host a special dinner to celebrate Confirmation, perhaps decorate the table with the color red
Take pictures before and/or after Confirmation in your home
Have a Zoom call with your close family and friends to congratulate your child
