Peek Inside! See a FULL PREVIEW of this resource (not including the handouts).

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
