Summary/Abstract: This is an introductory study written to a volume on confirmation catechisms,serving a double purpose. On one hand, it deals with the questions of education regarding confirmation, the catechism of confirmation and the Heidelberg Catechism of the Királyhágómellék Reformed Church District between the Two World Wars. On the other hand, it presents partially the manuscripts of four confirmation catechisms. Lajos Sárközi’s confirmation catechism was partially published in 1924 in a limited edition, but in the church of today, it is still widely known and spread as a manuscript.The other three lead us into the period between 1947–1989 of the Királyhágómellék Reformed Church District. In 1958 Mária Eszenyei Széles, István Horváth and Imre Orth wrote their masterpieces. But they could not have been published during that period. We offer an outline of the age together with a presentation of their text.
