Reflections on an a la carte Catholic approach to 1st Holy Communion and why marking such a milestone is important to me for my family. Spirituality, community, stress... it has it all.
From a non catholic who participated with the communion and confirmation process- even being called upon to help with the teachings / readings for the ceromonies, I was more than happy for the boys to have a foundation, knowledge of religion , a starting point to bulid from.
I too believe in rituals, carrying on traditions, encouraging our own to use knowledge and experiences to guide them and support their own values and beleifs.
Religion in catholic schools here,are now all very inclusive and try to educate about all religions, helpng foster acceptance, empathy, kindness and importantly curiosisty.
Great Read!
