First Eucharist, First Reconciliation & Confirmation:
A few years ago St Alphonsus designed a unique
process in order to prepare the children for the above mentioned
sacraments. The foundation of this process is the parish seeing itself as
the sponsoring body for the children
At the same time the parish co-operates
closely with both the parents and the school. A sacramental Catechetical
Team was set up to organize and facilitate the sacramental process. A
letter is mailed out to the parents in the fall giving the details and the
rituals and dates for the various happenings. Finally, on Pentecost Sunday
the whole parish is invited to come together as one and honor all the
children who have celebrated the various sacraments.
