Countdown to First Penance and Reconciliation

Countdown to First Penance and Reconciliation

Assist families in preparing for First Reconciliation by sending home a calendar that counts down the last four weeks leading to the celebration of the sacrament. This tool guides parents in helping their children prepare at home, and it gives children a great visual as they count down to First Reconciliation.

From praying the Act of Contrition to giving a compliment or reviewing the Ten Commandments, the countdown activities will help children grow in their relationship with God.

  1. How can we, here in the UK, acquire sample copies of the learning resources for the Sacramental process. I am particularly interested in the Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation resources that you have, I am the Deanery coordinator for some of the Sacramental programmes and have been impressed with the sample materials that I have viewed on-line. Can you please help us out
