Hello!
Here at Immaculate Heart of Mary, we want to help you prepare your child for their First Reconciliation and their First Communion. Both Sacraments offer a great deal of grace for your child and we want to help you open the gift of those graces in the life of your child - not just this year, but ongoing.
We ask that parents be very involved in the preparation of their child because it is up to you to help them recognize sin in their life and go to Confession when it is needed, as well as have a holy desire to worship God at Mass and receive Him in the Eucharist. This will help your child live a happy and fruitful life, one that helps them place God at the center of their life and invite others to do the same.
We would also like to provide some of our families with a mentor or a mentor couple. We will begin with families in our Family Faith Formation as a way to help them have the kind of community the school families may already have. If we have enough mentors, we will invite school families to have a mentor as well.
The purpose of the mentor is simply to be your friend and walk with you. They have already walked through Sacramental preparation and are couples who we know have a strong faith life. They have received training to know how to listen well and accompany you on this journey. They are there for you-to support you and be your friend. They will reach out to you once their training is complete.
*This year Sacramental Preparation will be $35 for the year. It includes all of the online resources that you and your child will need. If you need assistance, please let Jen know atbrownj@ihmlansing.org You can send a check to:
