Our parish just finished with the First Communions. The DRE said that one parent asked, "Now when do we have to bring her back to start classes for Confirmation?" Aaagh!

Some people are just not going to Get It, no matter what.

###"Now when do we have to bring her back to start classes for Confirmation?" Aaagh!"###

It is a case of blind leading the blind. I feel sorry for the kids as their parents are no more catechized than the children.

I taught CCD high schoolers, well after they made confirmation. This of course was back in the late 1950s early 1960s and there was some semblance of teaching at home and in the schools.

I also taught for 1 year a confirmation class in the mid 1970s and I received no Church material. I was left on my own but at least the Holy Spirit was with me to relay His truths to the kids. We even had a pizza party after the year was over.

What a difference in these generations.
