This year we are partnering with Faith and Family Collective to pilot a program called Nourish: A First Communion Family Experience. This program will be used to enhance the Sacramental Preparation in 2nd grade. Nourish is led by parents, shared as family, and experienced at home. Each family was given a Nourish box at our Sacramental Preparation meeting in September. The Nourish box includes everything needed for parents to lead 10 family meetings in their home. Families will encounter Jesus and experience the beauty of the Mass as it connects to daily life. Families dive deeper into the incredible gift God gives us – the Eucharist. Each family meeting includes: a gathering ritual, opening prayer, family check-in question, hands-on activity, concise teaching, and a closing prayer. The experiences follow the structure of the Mass.
