Update: First Confession has been moved to Saturday March 13 at 9:45 am.
Please see below for video on how to make a good first confession.
The P.R.E.P. program at Sacred Heart is committed to the religious education of our children in order that they might reach their full potential and become effective witnesses to the Gospel and God's love for the world. The primary means by which this is accomplished is thorough catechesis.
“Catechesis describes the essential ministry of the (Catholic) Church through which the teachings of Christ have been passed on to believers throughout the ages…Catechesis is an education in the faith of children, young people, and adults which includes the teaching of Christian doctrine” of the Roman Catholic Church. (National Directory for Catechesis, no.1, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops).
We look upon each child as created in the image and likeness of God, and encourage our children to share the love of Jesus by reflecting his glory in their daily lives. Students live and experience their faith through sound catechesis, worship, works of mercy, and fellowship.
In the words of St John Paul II, “The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ: only He can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity.”
