Send Out Your Spirit, 3rd Edition — Ave Maria Press

Send Out Your Spirit leads teens through the core truths of the Catholic faith—the Trinity, Jesus, Scripture, the Church, morality, the sacraments, and more—within the specific context of preparing for Confirmation. Designed not only to inform but to form, the program fosters faith-based friendships among adolescent candidates and strengthens relationships with supportive adults—both in their personal lives and within the parish community. Built-in opportunities for study, prayer, and reflection help candidates explore what the Church believes and how those beliefs shape their identity as members of the Body of Christ. 

Now in its third edition, this series has been developed in full alignment with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and has been found in conformity with it. This refreshed and accessible edition features a four-part structure across ten engaging chapters, designed to support both candidates and catechists in preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. This new edition also features new “Living the Faith” assignments, engaging new chapter openers, updated integration of prayer and Christian service as foundational components of preparation for Confirmation, and an expanded appendix—all supported by an easy-to-follow design. (©2026)
