&
"Signs of Grace: You are Loved" [Eucharist/Communion]
online and print materials for these courses.

$80 fee per child (includes both courses).
This instruction is for 3rd grade (in the Fall) & older children who will prepare to receive the sacraments of 
Reconciliation (Confession) & 1st Holy Eucharist (Communion).
The "bundle" for each course;
A) Reconciliation &
B) Holy Eucharist 
includes a student book, a student activity book
and online access (required) parent videos.
As part of their child's preparation, parents need to commit to view three, 35 minute videos for each of the two courses.
Parent enrichment opportunities are included in this process.
Guided in person by an experienced catechist, this program utilizes high quality video presentations, concise and clear theology and easy to follow methods to support and assist parents as they also learn as they assist their child to prepare to receive these very important sacraments.
