As your beautiful child readies their whole heart, mind, and soul for the (next) BEST TWO DAYS EVER in receiving Jesus in the Sacraments they are invited (with a wonderful parent)to the

Second Grade Prayer Retreat on Saturday, March 26th at 9:00 am. (To be confirmed)

✝️First Penance and Reconciliation ✝️

• Your beautiful child should memorize the Act of Contrition

• They should do an examination of conscience. 

They should practice the words that they will say:..
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. This is my first confession. I am sorry for..."

• After the Prayer of Absolution, your beautiful child will go over to the Tabernacle to say their Penance.

   ✝️ First Holy Communion ✝️

• As your beautiful child prepares their whole heart, mind, and soul to receive the most precious gift of Jesus in the Eucharist, the BEST GIFT we can give them is to attend Mass as a family each week! 

• As your child becomes familiar with the responses and feels truly at home in HIS HOME (our parish home) you will watch the transformation as your little one becomes a full participating member of the assembly in all that they say, do, and are as a beautiful Child of God! They TRULY MAKE JESUS' whole heart happy! ✝️✝️
