Reconciliation and 1st Communion will be discussed at the Parent Meeting on November 12th @ 7pm in the Church.  Please wear a mask to the meeting.

• All parents must register and attend the following webinars to help guide your children on their journey in receiving 2 special sacraments this year.  You must register for each webinar. If you cannot attend it live, it will be recorded for you and emailed to you. You may watch at your own convenience.  Each webinar is 30 minutes in length.  You may also register for any other webinar offered if interested.  However, you are only required to attend the webinars that pertain to your child’s sacrament.

  • Monday, October 5th @ 7:30pm (I have a Confession)
  • Sunday, October 18th @ 7:30 pm (You are what you Eat)

Please use St. Thomas the Apostle, Glen Mills for your parish, insuring that your registration is sent to our office.

• We will need your help in having the children MEMORIZE the following: 
  •  Act of Contrition
  •  Our Father
  •  Glory Be 
  •  Hail Mary

The children will have to say the Act of Contrition when they are in the Confessional for Reconciliation (unlike past years). The other three prayers are used for the Penance that will be given by the priest.
