The Seoul archdiocese has launched online confirmation classes in which faithful can prepare for the sacrament in just two days. The archdiocese’s Catholic Cyber Pastoral Office began offering the classes last week to make preparation for the sacrament easier and more convenient. Usually, confirmation classes take at least five weeks. Comprising 10 hour-long lectures, the class requires each person to take a test after each lecture. A person can watch up to five lectures and take five tests in a day. Armed with a certificate and with a little liturgy training, people can then be confirmed in their parish. “Our online classes help those who are too busy to attend classes held at fixed times,” said Father John Ri Ki-jung, director of the cyber ministry.

Dear reader,
Lent is the season during which catechumens make their final preparations to be welcomed into the Church.
Each year during Lent, UCA News presents the stories of people who will join the Church in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is their Lord. The stories of how women and men who will be baptized came to believe in Christ are inspirations for all of us as we prepare to celebrate the Church's chief feast.
Help us with your donations to bring such stories of faith that make a difference in the Church and society.
A small contribution of US$5 will support us continue our mission…
