OVERVIEW

Eucharist, Reconciliation, and Confirmation are milestones that mark a new passage in the faith life of children, an invitation to go deeper into the spiritual journey. The varied resources offered here connect the sacramental theology of the Church to the experiences of children preparing for the Sacraments and promote the benefits of a lifetime practice of receiving Reconciliation and the Eucharist.

RCL Benziger opens the way to effective sacramental catechesis by offering you a choice of sacramental programs for Penance and Reconciliation, Confirmation, and Eucharist.

Scripture, doctrine, ritual, and prayer are stressed throughout every program, yet each uses a different approach to:

  • Welcome children and young people into a living relationship with Jesus
  • Invite the whole community to join in a heartfelt celebration of the Sacraments
