Dear Parents:

Welcome to an exciting and rewarding faith-filled year for your child and family. Your child in grades 2-5 is invited to prepare to receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation in February and First Holy Eucharist in April/May 2027!

REGISTRATION MEETING:
The preparation begins with a registration meeting in the parish HALL.
Students are not required to attend the registration. You only need to attend one of the following dates:

Wednesday, October 14th @ 6:00pm OR
Saturday, October 17th @ 10:00am

BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATE:
If your child was not baptized at Divine Infant, please bring a COPY of their baptismal certificate to the registration. You can also submit a copy to: sacramental.coordinator@divineinfantparish.ca

        • If your child was baptized in another denomination they will need to make a Profession of           Faith before First Reconcilation. Please register and include a copy of the baptismal           certificate.
        • If you wish for your child to be baptized, please attend the registration and indicate "We           seek baptism" on the registration form. We will contact you to discuss registering your           child for our school age baptism program.

REGISTRATION FEE:
The fee for registration is $50.00. Payment can be made on the night of registration by cash or cheque, or you can pay online on our website under the Sacraments tab or with this QR code:

SCHEDULE:
A schedule for preparation classes will be distributed at the registration meeting and will be available on the First Eucharist page on our website under the sacraments tab by the end of the month. The specific dates for your school’s Reconciliation and First Eucharist celebrations will be sent out by email in late October once registration is completed. Paper copies of the full schedule will be available at the enrollment ceremonies.

RESOURCES:
Two workbooks will be distributed to each child, one at registration and one on the night of their First Reconciliation. These books are to be completed at home and returned to the church. Students will also receive a small booklet after each teaching session to help reinforce what they will learn during each class. These booklets do not need to be returned.

If you have any questions you may contact Nathalie Desjardins at: sacramental.coordinator@divineinfantparish.ca

I look forward to working with you to prepare your child for this major step in their life of faith.

May God Bless you and your family,
