Mercifully, I have been spared that experience. The advantage of being in such a small parish as mine is that the "very orthodox" priest has the final say :-) in what will be taught. He leaves nothing to chance and I totally appreciate his desire to participate in this process. In fact, our one group of 3 has a 1st, 2nd and 3rd grader. The challenge for their instructor is to cover basic Catholic teachings, following the litugical calendar and prepare 2 of them for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. He will decide if the 2nd grader is ready to make First Communion (she tends to get distracted easily and the parents don't correct the behavior). He is focused like a laser beam on Catholic education and that includes proper behavior in church.
I wouldn’t be surprised if ours was small and priest=run too. I am a new Catholic and I thought (naively) that I might learn something about what they were teaching. BOY, did I!!! Perhaps the Lord revealed it to me for future use...
