Please watch this video with your child to help them to understand what will happen on the day of their First Reconciliation.
This is a video we have prepared just for you. Most of us don’t remember our Baptism, as we were so young. Sometimes as parents, we get caught up in the moment of what is happening and we don’t give ourselves time to truly enjoy what is happening. We hope this video brings back the memories of your child’s Baptism and gives you renewed strength as parents
If possible, include your child’s godparents in-person or virtually when watching and participating in this video (send them a link).
You will need: your child's baptismal candle, a lighter or matches, or the votive candle (check your bag for the votive).
Optional: Make it a little more fun by watching at night in the dark
Our Father, who are in heaven, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you
among women,
And blessed is the fruit
of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Glory to the Father
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning,
is now and will be forever.
Amen.
Jesus Christ,
Son of the living God,
Have mercy on me, a sinner.

Dear God,
I am sorry for doing wrong. Please forgive me all my sins. I know you love me very much. Help me to love you in return and care for others as you do.
Amen.
