Our preparation process for 2010 has officially begun with parent meetings and a blessing of the children who are preparing to celebrate this sacrament.
The schedule for all events in this cycle is attached.
Preparation for this sacrament of God's healing and forgiveness is offered each year. Parents are supported and guided as they prepare their children at home with materials provided. Children celebrate individually in the context of a communal service. There is a separate registration fee for Reconciliation preparation.
Signs of readiness include a sense of right and wrong, beginnings of expression of sorrow for hurts done to others, beginning attempts to make up for wrongs done. Readiness usually occurs by the intermediate grades. Preparation for this sacrament and celebration should be experienced by grade six.
