The celebration of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion is a very special moment in a child’s journey of faith. Preparing children for these sacraments is much more than teaching them prayers or helping them understand the words and rituals. It is about nurturing a relationship with Jesus, creating opportunities for prayer and reflection, involving families and parish communities, and helping children experience the joy of belonging to the Church. The Diocese of Kerry is committed to supporting parents, teachers, parishes and children throughout this journey. A range of resources are available below.
