the REJOICE program
Engaging Children’s Books, comprehensive Catechist Guides, and integrated multimedia work together to offer meaningful, effective sacramental preparation.

An intermediate option is available for older children who have not yet received the sacraments, guiding them through preparation for Reconciliation and the Eucharist at the same time.
