Sacramental Preparation

Using Signs of Grace: You Are Forgiven (Augustine Institute), our Sacramental Preparation program for Reconciliation unites all our parish’s children and their parents together.  Meeting for 7 sessions and a Family Retreat, our program helps young Catholics understand who they are in God’s eyes, what sin is, and how we receive and offer forgiveness.  The program carefully guides our children in the celebration of the Sacrament.  The workbook and additional activity book provide numerous engaging activities.
 
Parent sessions are designed to achieve 3 goals: (1) provide support and guidance to parents in preparing their children to go to confession; (2) offer adult-level catechesis on the Sacrament for parent’s own faith growth; and (3) foster community among our parish’s parents.
