Mary, Our Father, and the Sign of the Cross. They have been learning the
importance of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and of receiving forgiveness. They have visited the confessional for the
first time and have practiced how to celebrate the Sacrament. The program requires that
the family as a whole prepares along with the student, encouraging discussion in regards to this specific sacrament.
The students and their families have been completing a workbook that explains the importance of penance, confessing, and forgiveness.
In addition, the families have prepared banners with their "family motto" and an artistic representation of their
family. These will be displayed along the sides of the church during and after the celebration of the sacrament. Please pray for the students as they approach the celebration of this sacrament. A special thank you to the
faculty of the School of Religious Education for working so hard with these students and also to the teachers who so generously
volunteer their precious time to the future of our church. |
