Part 1: What to expect on your first reconcilIation day
- Please watch this video with your child to help them to understand what will happen on the day of their First Reconciliation.
  
  This video is available on the Good Shepherd Parish Lakeshore YouTube channel in the playlist "First Reconciliation".
  
  Hey parents... been a while for you too? No worries. You are always welcome to return the Sacrament, even if it's been a few years or decades. We have an instruction video for adults here (skip to the 2:00 mark). You can find the times on our website. Just let the priest know if you are a bit rusty with the process and they will explain everything. Seriously.
PART 2: RENEWING OUR BAPTISM
- This is a video we have prepared just for you. Most of us don’t remember our Baptism, as we were so young. Sometimes as parents, we get caught up in the moment of what is happening and we don’t give ourselves time to truly enjoy what is happening. We hope this video brings back the memories of your child’s Baptism and gives you renewed strength as parents
  
  If possible, include your child’s godparents in-person or virtually when watching and participating in this video (send them a link).
  
  You will need: your child's baptismal candle, a lighter or matches, and a votive candle (check your bag for the votive).
  Optional: Make it a little more fun by watching at night in the dark
  
  This video is available on our Good Shepherd Parish Lakeshore YouTube channel in the playlist "First Reconciliation".
