On Saturday 17th January our Children received the sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. They have been preparing for the last few months. trying, little by little, to take on small and big responsibilities.
Receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time is a meaningful experience that prepares children to receive First Communion with a pure and joyful heart. Through this sacrament, they discover the value of forgiveness and the beauty of God’s love, which always accompanies them on their journey of faith.
It is a moment of grace that marks the beginning of a more conscious and spiritually enriched life, a fundamental step in their Christian journey.
In this beautiful journey together, we prepared for the Feast of Reconciliation or Forgiveness, The Catechetical team and the parish tried to support parents in their child’s education to the faith and help put into practice, in daily life, the commitment that you assumed on the day of your children’s Baptism.
It is important for boys and girls to feel the presence of parents who share the path they are travelling. To assist you in this journey, we took time together to reflect on the sacrament of reconciliation.
Preparation for First Reconciliation involves the entire parish community. Parents are called to be an example of Christian life, guiding their children on their journey of faith and accompanying them in discovering God’s merciful love.
I am grateful to all parents, catechists and teachers from our school, for the commitment in the mission of accompanying our children to this sacrament of love and forgiveness.
God Bless
