Dear Parents,
You are the first catechists of your children. Please try your best to assit your child in this process of preparation to the Sacrament of First Holy Communion by your example, prayers and practice of faith. We, as the teachers and catechists will help you in this important mission. This is a great opportunity for us all to grow in faith together. Please make sure you will attend the catechetical Masses. I strongly encourage you to attend Sunday Mass every week as well. Pray with your children every day. Teach them how to pray. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please call us or email us.
Fr. Greg N. OMI

Workbooks
In preparation for the Sacrament of First Communion, the
text: “Celebrate and remember”, volume 1 and “Reconciliation”, volume 2
“Eucharist” are meant to be read at home. Parents will assist
children in getting familiar with the contents of that resource. Nonetheless, the teachers and myself will be relating to its contents.
