Sacramental Program – First Reconciliation 2020

Home Preparation books are to be completed in the school weeks 2 - 5 ready for discussion at the Parent/Child Formation evening from 6-7 pm on Thursday 27th August – zoom attendance at this evening is compulsory. The zoom link for the meeting is https://cgcatholic.zoom.us/j/4073113815

Parents have been asked to set aside some special time each week with their child to work through the activities in the book. Please note there are parent and child elements to be completed.
In weeks 1 - 3 of the home preparation books the children were learning what is right and wrong, and how to make the right choices. They have also learnt to be sorry for their sin when they have done something that is wrong on purpose.

In week 4 the children are learning how to forgive and the feeling of being forgiven.
The ‘Home Preparation’ books need to have the last page (Parents’ Discernment of Readiness) completed and the books handed into the school during the week beginning 24 August. Fr Loi will sign these and the books will be given back to candidates at their reconciliation.
