GKPA FIRST HOLY COMMUNION FAMILY PREPARATION PROGRAMME
we provide a series of online gatherings and video talks focusing on experiencing the faith journey at home.
Our Programme is NOT a catechesis.
Unpacking line by line “Our Father”, the only prayer Jesus taught us, we’re sharing the experience of living our faith.
Introducing simple daily practices helps us to keep on the spiritual track.
NEVER allow your child to watch those recordings on their own, but be there to receive their questions or embrace their feedback.
Kindly bear in mind that the Programme is alive and still under construction.
Please see below the parts released so far.
Part 1: Our Father
Part 2: Who Art in Heaven
Part 3: Hallowed be Thy Name
Part 4: Thy Kingdom Come
Part 5: Thy Will Be Done
Preparation for First Holy Reconciliation
How to receive Holy Communion for the first time
UNDERSTANDING THE SACRAMENT
We gently advise every Family to commit to the “Come to the Table of the Lord” programme provided by iCatholic. In three videos (about 30-35 min each), the programme explains the basics of the sacrament.
Part 1 focuses on the sacrament of Reconciliation
Part 2 explains more about the different parts of the Mass
Part 3 advises on how to prepare and practice for receiving Holy Communion for the first time
FAMILY PRAYER RESOURCES
Catholic Agency for Overseas Development provides great resources stimulating prayer life at home with ideas to suit children of all ages and various themes, including Lent and Easter. Allow yourself to be inspired by their Family prayer ideas including family conversation card questions, Gospel art and craft, or Praying with Creation.
