2023 Registration - Printable Form 2023 Registration - Online Form
Dear Friends,
As we prepare for 2023, our thoughts turn to the children in Grade 2 and the celebration of their First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. This is always a very joyful time for a family and for the parish community. Jesus, the Good Shepherd continues to call these children to follow Him and to grow as a disciple.
We have sent this home with all the Grade 2 children. We recognize that some of the children may not have received Roman Catholic baptism so please disregard this information if it does not apply to your family situation or give us a call if you have questions. Please fill out the registration form and carefully look over the schedule of important dates regarding these sacraments. The form can be returned the night of the parent meeting: Wednesday, January 11th at St. John Vianney church and Thursday, January 12th at Our Lady of the Atonement church. Both meetings will be held in the church and start at 6:30 pm for approximately one hour. This will give us a chance to explain the preparation program and to answer any questions. You can also go to our website (eastwindsorcatholic.dol.ca) and click on the button First Reconciliation and Eucharist and fill out the form and submit it online. You can also return the form to the parish office at 2940 Forest Glade Drive or put in the mailbox at St. John Vianney church. Please do not return to the school.
Be sure to fill it out completely and return to us as soon as possible. If your child received the Sacrament of Baptism at a parish other than one of the communities in our family-Our Lady of the Atonement, St. Anthony of Padua, St. John Vianney or St. Vincent de Paul, you will need to include a copy of the certificate with the registration form.
You will see from the schedule that Reconciliation will be celebrated in mid-February and reception of the Eucharist will begin following Easter in April. Be sure to include your email so that we can stay in touch and provide information as we go along.
We look forward to celebrating with the children and their families. Contact Rachelle Leslie ext. 32 for children affiliated with schools in the St. John Vianney Church area including: St. John Vianney, St. Anne French Immersion, Georges Vanier, and any public schools in the area.
Contact Maria Mollica ext. 23 for children affiliated with schools in the Our Lady of the Atonement area including: L A Desmarais, H J Lassaline, St. Therese, St. Andre and public schools in the area.
We look forward to this very special time with your family.
In Christ,
Fr. Rob Rocheleau, Pastor
