PicturePenance Reconciliation Confession
Penance, Reconciliation or Confession

The Sacrament of Forgiveness and Reconciliation is one of the Lord’s great gifts to us.  It is a Sacrament of Resurrection by which the Risen Lord raises sinners from the death of sin and leads them forward on the path of holiness.  It is a sacrament of liberation and healing, involving a deeply personal encounter with Christ the Reconciler through the priest in the community of the Church. (source: Diocesan Pastoral Plan for Confession)

Times for Reconciliation (Confession).  Please see schedule under the "Mass Times" page.

First Confession.  
A child’s first celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation normally takes place in the second grade - the year in which the child reaches the age of 7 or later.  The child will be expected to take part in a program of preparation, and there will also be preparation sessions for parents.


A mandatory meeting for parents of children receiving First Reconciliation and First Communion is typically held in Fall. Parents need to attend only one of these meetings. This meeting will include information for Reconciliation and Holy Communion. Please watch for future dates.​




*************************
WE ARE ALMOST DONE WITH RECONCILIATION CLASSES!! ONLY 2 MORE TO GO!
​**************************

*Holy Communion classes will start up in the Spring and your child must have completed the Reconciliation sacrament in order to receive Holy Communion!!*

​Hello Parents!
We have now completed all 3 Gathering Meetings and BOTH retreats!!! I hope you all feel accomplished! I certainly do 🙂 We only have 2 weeks of classes left in this semester - can you believe it?? This was a fast and furious course, but we are finishing STRONG!! I am so glad to have met all of you over these few months and am so proud of how devoted your kids are to their faith. As their first catechist in the home, keep guiding them towards God's light and love! You're all doing a wonderful job!
