The role of parents in forming Christian values in their children is irreplaceable.
We are partners with parents in the preparation of the children for first Reconciliation and first Eucharist.
Parents of children in preparation for First Communion therefore must participate:- in workshops to update their understanding of the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist.
- in preparing their child at home with materials that are explained at the workshop
- in parent-child retreat days.
