Muktidayini Mata parish team at Don Bosco Chhotaudepur commenced 'confirmation' classes from Tuesday 15 September 2020 for 16 of its parish youth at Don Bosco Fatepura Hostel in view of the Sacrament of Confirmation, administered at the Sahayak Mata Parish- Don Bosco Kawant, on 27 September 2020, by Archbishop Emeritus Stanislaus Fernandes of Baroda.

Fathers Brian Boothello, Daresh Rathwa and Sister Carolina took regular classes for an hour daily, to prepare the young people for this great celebration. The wide spectrum of Catholic teachings - understanding of the old and new testaments, the seven sacraments with major emphasis on Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation, knowing oneself as an adult Christian, the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, and taking responsibility as a Catholic - were taught through powerpoint presentations and faith movies.
