am delighted that your child and you are part of our parish family. I
am delighted that at this time you are considering another sacrament
within your child's journey of faith that you began with them at
Baptism.
How can you strengthen your child’s experience of their next sacrament and its connection to their faith journey? What stages do you wish to strengthen with your child? Is it the enquiry stage: reflecting on 'Why you are considering this sacrament? How will it help? What do you hope it will give your child, or how will it support your dreams and hopes for your child? Do you wish to strengthen their preparation stage for the Sacrament? Our parish acknowledges that parents are the prime educators of their children in all aspects of their lives, including faith. The parish community is committed to supporting you and working with you to pass on our faith, our Catholic story, our values, our traditions, and introducing them into the Sacramental life of the Church. My hope is that you and your child will be supported in all four stages of the sacramental journey. I know God has many hopes and dreams for your child and our community. I know the Sacraments are an integral part of realising some of those dreams and hopes - and the more effective we can celebrate and live the Sacraments, the closer we move towards those dreams and hopes being real for the children and the community. So what are we asking you to do now? REFLECT with your Child: I invite you to reflect with your child on those questions I have posed for Stage One - the enquiry. Reflect
with your child on why and what your child and you, hope to gain from
the Sacrament? Share with them your answers, of course in their
language and levels of understanding. At times
you will struggle with the right words, but they will understand your
love and passion, no matter what language you use. Register on-line: I thank you for your ongoing commitment to share your faith with your child and pray that the Schools and Parish can work with you to make this sacramental journey significant and real for your child. Yours in Christ, ******************** Here is the sacramental vision in a picture again ...
