Parents have the awesome responsibility of being the primary educators in their child’s faith development. Children begin their faith journey with Baptism, an immeasurable gift, usually initiated by parents . The gift of faith, given by God, is then nurtured by parents in the household and reinforced through religious education, Catholic schooling, or home schooling.
From the start, Jesus calls us all to conversion. Reconciliation and Holy Communion are essential as we continually work to turn towards Christ and away from sin. Your child has reached the age where they are able to begin specific preparation that will help them become properly disposed to receive these important sacraments. The sacraments will strengthen them on their journey towards conversion to Christ and life in heaven.
If your child is in second grade at MACS, has been enrolled for at least a year in Goldsmith Religious Education, or is Home Schooled, he/she is eligible for the reception of the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion.
Please explore the links below for information or to register your child for the First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion Preparation Program.
