Preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation begins in the second grade with informative class sessions, and attending Mass on a regular basis. The classes meet on Monday evenings.
For more information, please call Michelle at 860.747.6825 or email her at ourladyofmercyreled@gmail.com.
Schedule of Faith Formation
Grades 1-5
Monday 4:30-5:45 PM
There will be 3 dates to choose from per month. The expectation is to attend classes at least twice a month and attend Mass weekly. The third day of the month will be used for other activities such as community service or makeup dates for children who miss a class.
Children and Families are welcome to come to all classes if available.
Some children and families do better with a continuous schedule. Others do not. This is how Michelle is trying to meet each family where they are.
If you have any issues or concerns, please contact Michelle at ourladyofmercyreled@gmail.com. Please note that all children will be required to attend a day retreat before the completion of a Sacramental class and before they may receive a Sacrament in the Reconciliation and First Communion years.
