Our Catholic sacraments are celebrations that involve certain words and actions that point to God’s work in our lives. For a baptized Catholic, reconciliation absolves one from sin and reunites the penitent into friendship with God. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is received in preparation for First Holy Communion.

A child is ready for preparation for Reconciliation and First Communion if:

• The child is baptized and at least 7 years old.
  
• The child attends mass regularly, including holy days of obligation.
• The child will learn the Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life.
  
• Prayer is experienced in the home. Your child will be learning our traditional Catholic prayers and the Ten Commandments.
  
• The child will be supported to attend all sessions for Reconciliation and Communion. 
  

Registration is now open for the fall/winter session.

“Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.’ And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.’”

— Luke 22:19-20
