January 24, 2022Dear Parents/Guardians:
As we begin this new year our thoughts turn to the children in Grade 2 and the celebrations on their First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. This is always a very joyful time for a family and for the parish community.
This year's programme for these Sacraments will be different than in the past due to the pandemic. We ill provide a take-home programme that is very user friendly for both the children & adults.
At this time, please complete the attached registration form and return it to the parish before February 18th. Once we have your child's registration information we will be able to communicate via email with some dates and the process for obtaining the take home programme. You can use the electronic form found on our website. Forms can be returned to the parish office at Our Lady of the Atonement - there is a mailbox at the Family Centre or in the mailbox over at St. John Vianney Church.
We will also provide suggestions for child friendly videos to watch on our faith formation site formed.org. This site has lots of Catholic programs for children & adults. More details on Formed will be sent home with the take home package. once we receive your child't information an email will be sent to each family to confirm registration and to send out additional information.
We anticipate celebrating Reconciliation in April and First Eucharist in May but the schedule is very fluid at the moment due to the pandemic.
If you have questions, please give us a call: 519-7358-6023
