Welcome to the preparation process for children (and their families) preparing to celebrate the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist for the first time!
I believe that preparing children for Reconciliation and Eucharist is a wonderful opportunity for families. As a parent/guardian, you are your child's primary religious educator. Your child watches what you do, absorbs your values, and looks to you for guidance. It is through you that your child learns to relate to God and others. Modeling for your child an openness to receiving the gift of God's unconditional love is perhaps the core of your parental responsibility.
These sacraments are received by children usually in the second grade or as they reach the age of reason.
If your child is older than second grade and has not yet received these sacraments, simply contact me, Becky at (608) 356-5353, and I will discuss alternatives with you.

Confirmation confirms or completes the sacramental grace of Baptism. Through this sacrament of initiation, the power and grace of the Holy Spirit is poured out in its fullness and the candidate is sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.
