Students participating in this Sacramental preparation class are actually preparing to recieve TWO sacraments for their first time: Reconciliation & Eucharist.
Most people recognize the Sacrament of Reconciliation by the action, or the term Confession. While preparing to experience this beautiful gift of God's love and forgiveness, children also learn to extend forgiveness others.
"Every time we receive the Eucharist, we repeat that desire with our “Amen!”, which means “Yes! I believe!” We are saying we believe in Jesus Christ and that he is truly present in front of us."
