The most helpful preparation for all students is the example and practice of their parents, to live a conscious Christian life at home, of prayer, reading the Scriptures, striving to follow God's law, weekly participation in Sunday Eucharist, expressing sorrow for sin and readily granting forgiveness, and regular celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, both individually and at communal celebrations.
Note that students need to prepare for and celebrate First Reconciliation before First Eucharist.
A parent/guardian must stay with their child for the duration of the retreat. Activities at the retreat will be for parents and students to learn and pray together.
