Abstract

This article presents a proposal for designating time within pastoral and catechetical programs
for a solemn celebration of a child’s first experience of the Sacrament of Penance,
or even two confessions preceding the reception of First Holy Communion. This study
focuses on the religious development of early school-age children, emphasizing the need
for collaboration between family and parish in preparing for a child’s first confession.
The final section of the article provides pastoral and catechetical arguments supporting
this approach.
