INDIRECT PREPARATION
FROM AN EARLY AGE, A CHILD OF THE ATRIUM FALLS IN LOVE WITH THE GOOD SHEPHERD AND BEGINS TO DESIRE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. HE WONDERS HOW HE MIGHT LIVE THIS RELATIONSHIP MORE FULLY.
IMMEDIATE PREPARATION
AS A CHILD AND HIS PARENTS, TOGETHER WITH HIS PASTOR, DISCERN WHETHER HE IS READY TO BEGIN FORMAL PREPARATION FOR HIS SACRAMENTS, THE CATECHIST PARTICIPATES IN THIS DISCERNMENT THROUGH THE LEVEL II ENVIRONMENT.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATIONS
& SACRAMENT RETREAT
HEARTLAND CGS CATECHISTS COLLABORATE TO LEAD SCRIPTURE MEDITATIONS CULMINATING IN A FOUR DAY RETREAT DURING WHICH CHILDREN OF THE ATRIUM CONTEMPLATE AND RECEIVE THE SACRAMENTS OF RECONCILIATION AND THE EUCHARIST FOR THE FIRST TIME.
