Your commitment

The most important part of the preparation programme is regular attendance at Mass and the session preceding Mass. You need to pick your child up and then attend Mass after they have completed each session.

Ensure your child’s register card is marked by the priest, deacon, catechist or member of the Catholic school staff (these will be distributed at the meeting).

Children participating in the Sacramental programme should remain in church throughout Mass and not attend the Children’s Liturgy Group.

Purchase a pupil workbook (from the meeting, your school or parish office) £10.00. Please ensure your child brings their workbook each week.

Complete weekly tasks with your child.
