First Reconciliation for Children
|
Preparation for celebrating the sacrament for
the first time or any time after means grounding our need for forgiveness in
relationships of love - love of God, love of neighbor, and love of self. It is also important to help children understand that sin, breaking these relationships of love, is both individual and social. Like adults, as children grow in their understanding of right and wrong, they need a corresponding understanding that whatever has been done wrong, God's mercy and forgiveness remains a constant source to help us grow stronger in a Christian way of life. Preparation sessions for the Sacrament of Reconciliation involve both children and parents and are geared for children in fourth grade and older. Parents and youth preparing for Reconciliation are expected to: •Be registered members of the parish and active in the life of the community as they are able. •Children
must be baptized.
