PREPARATION FOR THE SACRAMENTS TAKES PLACE IN THE PARISH IN THE DIOCESE OF PEMBROKE

FIRST RECONCILIATION

This Sacrament, along with First Eucharist, is celebrated in Grade two (2) and preparation begins in September as soon as the children return to school. The parents of children presently in Grade one (1) and up at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School, at the French or Public schools must register their child on one of the advertised weekends which will published in late April.

Please bring a photocopy of your childs' Baptismal Certificate with you at the time of registration. These are the only dates on which your child can be registered. Failure to register on one of these dates, means your child will have to wait until the year 2013.

If you are newly arrived in the Parish after July 1st, please register your child after the 5:00 p.m. Mass or the 10:00 a.m. Mass - watch for date.

Since parents are the first teachers in the ways of faith, this parish honours that responsibility. At our parent meetings you will receive the necessary material to grow your child’s understanding of First Eucharist. The parish will work with you in helping your child understand, as will the Principal and teachers of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School. This partnership of home, school and parish will complete all of our responsibilities towards your child.

Please Note: If you attend or are registered in another Parish, then you must register your child in that Parish even though the child attends Our Lady of Sorrows School.
