Nothing is sweeter than the calm of conscience, nothing safer than purity of soul – yet no one can bestow this on himself because it is properly the gift of God’s grace.
— St. Columbanus

Congrats! I’m in charge of the sacramental program where I work…so I’d be very interested in what your parish does to prepare them.
The kids where I work got to experience the mercy of Jesus in December, and we encourage the parents/families to go, too. And apparently they did! Yay!
