Today the children who enrolled last week in the sacramental preparation programme 'My Lord and My God' thought about joining God's Family at Baptism. We sang a song to remind us that it is at the Sacrament of Baptism we join God's Family.

We also talked about sacrament as gift. We found cards showing all the outward signs of the sacrament of Baptism and talked about the inward graces we receive.
Can you see the outwards signs of Baptism?

On Friday the children will start to learn more about another gift - the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
For all who have already received this gift, there will be an opportunity to go to confession during the 24 hours of the Lord
