(To be completed by parent(s) and presented at Commitment Sunday.)
Recognizing that my involvement as a parent is of special importance in helping to prepare my child for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist, I promise…
1. To see that my child attends Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation (Christmas and New Years Day) and to accompany my child to Mass.
2. To see that my child attends all catechetical sessions and necessary practices.
3. To attend the parent sessions and the retreats.
4. To support and encourage my child in preparation by participating in family activities and by assisting with all home assignments.
5. To help my child learn the basic prayers and responses for the celebration of the sacraments.
6. To pray for and with my child as well as reading the Bible with him/her.
7. To continue sharing the gift of myself and the gift of faith with my child, our family and with the parish community, even after my child’s First Eucharist.
