Workshops will take place at St. Peter’s school, from 3.30pm-4.30pm. Parents are welcome to join the sessions as this will give you chance to interact with your child and prepare them for their Sacraments.
After each session, please take time to reflect with your child and complete the “At home” section together. I will highlight these tasks for you to complete, at the workshops.
Make this a Journey of Reflection and time together.
Ideas:
Light a candle
Ask a relative to join you
Choose a quiet place with no background noise, if possible.
Give time to share ideas and ask questions.
Make the Sign Of The Cross, at the beginning and end of your time together.
Please note: All packs including booklets must be returned to school by Thursday every week, so that I can have a look at your child’s work and leave them some feedback. Any questions please email
Please make sure all work is completed, from the session and make your Reflection Book as creative as you wish.
Ideas:
Use colours on each page
Stick pictures in of your sessions at home.
Add Prayers
Write down any questions about the session
Please keep everything safe and clean in the backpack provided.
God Bless
