Program Details
Children who are in Grade 2 + are welcomed to prepare to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion.
The program has two components:
- A time of catechesis and prayer that takes place on Sundays @ 9:15-10:15am. Generally, these sessions take place at St. Basil’s in the Atrium. However, there are also some sessions that place virtually via Zoom.
- Following their time in the Atrium, children (accompanied by their parents) will attend 10:30 Mass. Families can also attend another Mass time that is more suitable to their schedule.
The program comes to completion at Pentecost, allowing children time in the Atrium to deepen this new aspect of their relationship with Jesus, Bread of Life.
Regular program attendance is required throughout the entire program.
The program also supports parents in their role as their child’s primary educator in the faith. Video messages, emails and work to be completed with their child are an opportunity for parents to learn and reflect with their child on this maturing relationship with Jesus.
