Penance 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.

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 held in September. Parents need to attend only one of these meetings. This meeting will include information for Reconciliation and Holy Communion. Please watch for future dates.
