We hope this section gives you an overview and helps you share in and deepen the journey for your child.
There are four major stages in any Sacramental Journey:
Preparation:
A period to prepare for the Sacrament
Celebration:
Liturgical
experience of
the Sacrament
Living:
Applying
and unfolding
the sacrament in life
Our hope is to encourage you to experience each of these four stages with your child, in a way that deepens the richness and gift of Reconciliation for both of you. When considering reconciliation we invite you to some conscious activities that touch each of these four stages.
