GUIDELINES FOR THE RECEPTION OF EUCHARIST AND PENANCE

A two year catechesis of preparation is required. It is recommended that parents of children also attended the program of catechesis and doctrinal preparation.

The catechesis for the initial reception of the Sacrament of Penance is to be separated from the catechesis for First Eucharist so that the child will clearly distinguish between two sacraments. The beginning catechesis for penance is to precede the reception of First Eucharist. The reception of First Penance is to be separated by several months from the reception of First Eucharist. It is recommended that parents attend a program of catechesis and doctrinal preparation.
