Your teen or child is about to enter into the final sacramental preparation phase and the beginning of a sacramental life in Jesus Christ.  They may be receiving Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist and/or Confirmation. Jesus will come to them in a most unique and intimate way through the sacraments.The first sacrament we must prepare for is Reconciliation. Each of us is in need of God’s mercy and compassion. We desire to be healed of our wounds. In Reconciliation we can experience the transforming grace of our Lord’s forgiveness. God renews us, restores us, and heals the deepest wounds within our heart.  Parents, I invite you to accompany your teen/child on their journey toward reconciliation. If you have not gone to Reconciliation (confession) in a long time renew the practice in your own family by celebrating this divine sacrament.

As parents you are the first educators of the faith for your children. You took this responsibility when your children were baptized into the Catholic faith. Your cooperation and example of living your faith is important as your teen/child prepares for the sacraments. They are watching you. They are taking your example.
Our catechists are working faithfully to prepare your children to encounter Jesus Christ in the sacraments. You can help in this preparation by demonstrating your love for the Church, sharing your memories of when you received sacraments, asking them what they are learning in sacramental preparation sessions, and above all praying for your children always.

It is my heartfelt desire that your teen/child will come to a deeper knowledge of the love of God through the sacraments. Sacraments are life changing encounters with Christ. May God bless you and your family and give you His abundant love.
