8.5 X 11" -- 18 pages in the outline + handouts for parents, children, and a guide for your catechist leaders -- all fully reproducible eResource -- not available in print

This is a flexible-schedule retreat and plan for the final rehearsal for parents and their children as they prepare to receive Holy Communion for the first time.
Parents and children live together most of the time. They encounter one another daily. Even if the family is split between more than one home, they’re in touch with each other frequently.

But in this final retreat and rehearsal for First Holy Communion, we want to give them a unique experience of being together, one in which we coach the parents to talk with their child about faith. This final lesson before Holy Communion will be formation that lasts a lifetime, for both the parents and their kids.

This outline includes:

  • Schedules and outlines for both smaller parishes or larger ones
  • All the handouts you'll need
  • A step-by-step set of instructions for the whole retreat, no guessing and no need to make it up as you go along!
  • A wonderful "tour of a Catholic Church" resource, including a handout for participants
  • A top notch demo outline of the Mass for the rehearsal, updated for the revised Roman Missal

    I haven't implemented anything from the resource yet so not able to give honest review.

    As mentioned under review, I haven't implemented anything yet but am excited to do it in the future.
