FIRST RECONCILIATION / FIRST COMMUNION PREPARATION, 2021

Greetings Parents and Guardians,

We are so happy that you have decided to register your child to prepare for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion.

Our program will begin in February. The preparation is a combination of home preparation and catechesis online. The home preparation for each sacrament will include its own book. Your child will complete this at home with you there. For the online catechesis there will be 3 meetings for First Reconciliation and 3 meetings for First Communion. These meetings will take place over ZOOM. Catechists will guide your child in discussion of videos from the program ‘Blessed”. Parents are required to be with their child during these meetings online. When you view the videos with her or him, it is easy for you to discuss ideas as your child so as to remember information during the week.

REGISTRATION:
You can register for the sacraments online and send in all documentation.
Baptism is a pre-requisite for all the other sacraments.

If your child is not baptised, please contact us immediately to pursue the possibility of having your child enter the Christian Community through the Sacrament of Baptism.

If you are not already a registered member of St. Veronica’s parish, and wish to become a member, please see Father Ron after any weekend Mass.
The following are needed when you register:

A copy of your child’s Baptism Certificate.
A recent picture of him/her.

We also ask that you help subsidize the cost of the program. The fee is $25.00 for each sacrament and can be sent by following the donation page on the HOME tab on the main page of our website. An income tax receipt will be issued immediatelyfor these donations.
The registration form, attachments and donations are to be sent by:
January 24th., 2021(deadlines are firm).

Attendance at Mass is an integral part of the preparation process. Your child will better understand the information given in the videos and be able to apply the concepts in his/her own way. We do encourage you to attend Mass with a reminder that all health restrictions are always implemented at church including wearing of masks for everyone attending as well as social distancing.
During this time of the Covid virus you may not feel safe to attend Mass regularly, please watch our weekly live-streamed Mass on our website which is “veronica.church” or on Shaw Cable community channels with your child.
During the home preparation and the online preparation, parts of the Mass are explained, and it is only through attending Mass that this will have lasting meaning for your child.

The dates for the Enrolments are yet to be determined. (Each sacrament is required to have an official acceptance by the community we are still working on how this is to be accomplished.)

Please review the dates of the meetings and times and add them to your calander. Each meeting is especially important in the preparation of your child to receive the Eucharist. For this reason, attendance at ALL meetings is required. You will receive a Zoom invitation for your participation in each of the meetings. Non participating in meetings are in emergencies only.
