A prior understanding of our archdiocesan children’s curriculum is recommended, as activities and materials proposed for the retreat aim to help the children further deepen their understanding of what has been offered in catechetical sessions prior to the retreat.
In the event that the team preparing children for the sacraments is new, please send at least a representative from your parish to explore how we can prepare the children for their First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
