A diocesan workshop (KC-St. Joseph) noted the leader guide is wraparound/step-by-step but 'not as strong as Never Alone.' | OSV's program site offers DRE/leader resources (scope & sequence, components, tips to involve the parish, adult Confirmation), catechist session planners for both editions, activity masters, and parent, sponsor and retreat handouts. A Sponsor and Mentor Handbook and Confirmation Source Book support parish leaders. |
