abandoned weekly liturgies except for First Communion year?
Q=What memory of church do children have as they age?
Q=How does giving young children a liturgical experience
different from adults help their instruction as they age?

The Church must show special concern for baptized children who have yet to be fully initiated through the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist as well as for children who have only recently been admitted to Holy Communion. Today the circumstances in which children grow up are not favorable to their spiritual progress.
