Points will be deducted for answers not written in complete sentences. We will begin practicing the act of contrition in class as reconciliation draws near. Please practice this prayer with your child at home as well. It is printed on the back of the reconciliation book you received at the parent meeting a few weeks ago .Students will recite this prayer each time he/she goes to reconciliation.
