Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women and
Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners now and
At the hour of our death
Amen.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am very sorry for all my sins,
Because they displease you,
Who are all-good and deserving of all my love.
With your help, I will sin no more.
Amen.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
Child: Sign of the cross.
"Bless me Father, for I have sinned.
This is my first confession.
My sins are ..., and for all my other sins, I am very sorry."

"Thank you Father."
Go back to our pew. Kneel down and say the prayer (penance) that the priest asked you to say.
Sacrament of Communion

Child: Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof; but only say the word, and my soul shall be healed.
Once you are ready to receive

Go back to your pew, kneel down and say a prayer before sitting down.
