Reconciliation
A child’s initiation into the Catholic faith, which begins at their Baptism, requires a special level of commitment from both the child and their parents. As your child approaches the age when the sacramental preparation process will begin for Reconciliation, it is important for families to understand the commitment they will undertake over the coming years. Fulfilling this commitment will lead to the reception of sacraments, which constitute full initiation of your child into the Catholic faith community.
Families with children in second grade (or older), who have completed at least one year of class curriculum and who are currently enrolled in a second grade class are eligible to enter into preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Class preparation for sacramental reception is separate from the general grade level curriculum. Minimally, families attend weekly Mass and participate fully in the preparation process in the Parish with prayer and conversation going on in the home. Parent formation sessions are inclusive with the formation process. For children older than second grade, please meet with the Coordinator of Elementary Ministry for determination of your specific needs and circumstances.
This is on on-going effort in every parish. We at Christ the King Parish invite and encourage and train and prepare our ministers. If you would like to volunteer for Elementary Religious Education, Children's Celebration of the Word, Summer Experience or office assistance, please know we love hearing from you! Contact Jim if these areas appeal to you. Contact ministry leaders in other areas if they appeal to you. The parish runs on volunteer efforts. Be fuel for our community and Volunteer Today!
