Lighthouse Confirmation Peer Ministry Program Peer Ministry Sessions

The Lighthouse Program forms older, previously Confirmed high school students as peer ministers to accompany younger candidates (ages 10-16) to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation as part of a broader preparation process. It is about befriending, caring for, and helping Confirmation candidates celebrate their Confirmation in ways that encourage them to begin their journey into adult faith.

It offers a compelling model for preparing older teens for ministry leadership, helping them transition into an adult role in the church. It can especially help dioceses that are lowering the age of confirmation to continue to engage older youth in ministry. 

Note that this is not a comprehensive preparation program, but is meant to be used as part of a wider Confirmation program. Learn more about the program at this link.

This book contains five sessions. Lighthouse peer minister leaders will help Confirmation candidates explore what it means to celebrate this sacrament and how it can enrich their lives. Each leader and candidate will need their own book.

The sessions include:

• Session 1: Setting the Pace
• Session 2: Picking Up Speed
• Session 3: Refueling
• Session 4: Gaining Ground
• Session 5: Handing on the Baton (Mystagogy: After Confirmation)
