Sacrament
Preparation
The Church views
parents as having both the privilege and the obligation of forming their
children in faith. This is made clear when the child was presented to the
Church for Baptism. At that time you were reminded that you have the
responsibility of "raising them in the practice of the faith" (from
the Rite of Baptism). Part of that privilege and obligation is assuring the
child is prepared for the reception of sacraments. At St. Gabriel we provide
preparation sessions that rely upon the parent to participate by assisting
their child at home—reading a story, helping with worksheets, and praying with
their children.
