First Reconciliation

First Reconciliation

Our second graders will celebrate their First Reconciliation on Saturday, January 28th at 10:00 AM in the Church. The whole parish family shares in the responsibility for the religious education of our children. Through our faithful witness to the Gospel, the parish is called to help our children to understand the nature of sin and be examples of God’s forgiveness. The parish “intercedes for them and helps penitents with maternal care and solicitude to acknowledge and admit their sins and to obtain the mercy of God who alone can forgive sins” (Rite of Penance, #8). The entire parish is invited and encouraged to walk this journey of preparation with our children through prayer and intention as they approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time.
