FIRST COMMUNION - THINGS TO LEARN, Part II

As part of your child’s preparation for First Communion, your child will need to learn several concepts and prayers throughout the year.    For the month of November, we are assigning the second set of concepts and prayers that your child will need to learn.  They include the Seven Sacraments as well as the Act of Contrition and the Ten Commandments, as soon your child will be learning about the sacrament of Reconciliation and preparing for their first confession.  This week, in class, we are sending the link containing these new items that they need to learn.  *You can download the handout by clicking here, and it is also available on the “First Communion Page” of our website. Sometime in December, we will be evaluating to ensure that your child has learned these items.  We ask for your help by going over and praying the prayers together with your child, as well as reviewing the concepts with them.  The best way for them to learn these prayers and concepts is to pray them every day and to talk about them as a family!   In addition, please remember to continue reviewing and praying the Basic Prayers (from Part I) with your child at home.  There are some students who still needed to work on learning the prayers.  Please encourage and help your child to learn these prayers entirely if they have not yet done so.  We will be following up on the Basic Prayers later on in the year.  Please let us know if you have any questions.    Thank you for your support and assistance, and may God bless you.
