THE SACRAMENT OF FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

 In the Holy Eucharist, the source and summit of the whole Christian life, the faithful offer the Divine Victim to God, and offer themselves along with It, and manifest the unity of the people of God in the Mystical Body of Christ.

FIRST RECONCILIATION PROGRAM MEETING FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN IN GRADE 2

If you wish to register your child for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the Parish of Our Lady Queen of the World invites you to attend a PARENT INFORMATION MEETING in the
Parish Hall on:

Monday, September 22nd, 2008, at 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.

Monday, September 29th, 2008, at 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.

In September, Registration packages will be sent home from schools in parish boundaries. Parents of children from other schools may pick up their package from Sr. Nida after all
the Masses on the weekend of September 13/14, 2008. During the Information Meeting, we will explain about the Sacrament of Reconciliation. You will also be given the book to prepare your child for this sacrament and we will discuss important dates in preparation for First Reconciliation. This will also be the time to register your child.
This meeting is for PARENTS ONLY. Please do not bring your child with you.

For further information, please call Sister Nida at 905-884-7006 or e-mail at nida_fe@yahoo.com.
