Interview With Father
Father would like to speak with you, your sponsor and your parents for about 15 minutes. Below are some discussion questions that you should be somewhat prepared to answer. This is not a test and there are no grades. Feel free to take some notes on these questions and bring it with you to the interview. Don't be nervous! The interview is an opportunity for Father to greet you individually and talk about your readiness to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. This will also be good practice for a job interview someday.
