- First Reconciliation Retreat Teaching Summary | Word | PDF
- Outlines the objectives, teaching steps, activities, and materials for each portion of the retreat.
- This is modeled after the teaching summaries found at the beginning of each chapter in the Catechist Guide (pages 1B, 11B, 21B, 31B, 41B, 51B, 61B and 71B).
- Reconciliation Retreat Format | Word | PDF
- Retreat outline/format including instructions for each portion of the retreat.
- This is a modified version of "Retreat with Children (Model 3)" found on pages 124-128 of the Program Director Manual.
- While the bulk of the modified version we have prepared is the same in content as what is found in the Program Director Manual, we have designed the retreat to include both children and parents, made some modifications to some of the activities, and have added some of our own material or resources we have used in the past.
- Diocesan Youth Retreat Team Resources Booklet | Word | PDF
- Includes copies of any handouts needed during the retreat, instructions for icebreakers/games, lyrics to fun grace before meals, and some other additional resources.
- The "Good Deeds Examples" on page 1 of the Reconciliation Resources Booklet is for an activity that will replace the "Procession with Gifts" on page 128 of the Program Director Manual.
- The "Memories of Childhood" on page 5 of the Reconciliation Resources Booklet is based off of the "Memories of Childhood" activity on page 125 of the Program Director Manual.
