In addition to this list, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops maintains a Listing of Approved Catechetical Texts and Series that comply with the Catechism of the Catholic Church. If you want feedback about a program not listed below, contact Jeff Hines. To get a copy of the diocesan guidelines and policies for sacramental preparation and celebrating the sacraments of initiation and reconciliation, e-mail Jasmine Moore, or call her at (501) 664-0340, ext. 323. | Español
Diocese of Little Rock Confirmation Retreat — A retreat is one of the requirements to receive the sacrament of confirmation. The diocesan confirmation retreat is available for candidates unable to attend their parish's retreat, or those from small parishes that find it difficult to offer a retreat. Co-sponsored by the offices of Faith Formation and Youth Ministry, it is modeled after SEARCH and is peer-ministry driven. It highlights the gifts of the Holy Spirit and life after confirmation, and is designed to ignite the fire in a confirmation candidate's heart to truly be a disciple of Christ as well as experience an intimate connection with the Holy Spirit. For more information, contact the Catholic Youth Ministry Office at (501) 664-0340.
Bishop Erik Pohlmeier, former director of faith formation, visited every pastor and many parish leaders in the Diocese of Little Rock over a two-year period to understand how faith formation is being practiced and discover what works and what doesn't work in Arkansas parishes. The results of those visits along with much research and participation in national conferences led to the conclusions and recommendations for adult faith formation in the 2018 Report on Faith Formation in Diocese of Little Rock. Resources for adults are broken down into the following categories:
