  • Reconciliation



    • Current Reconciliation Schedule:
      Saturdays: 3:00-4:15pm in the church 
       Sundays:  4:45pm-5:15pm in the church
       or by appointment

      Sin harms our relationship with God and damages our communion with the Church. Conversion of heart is the beginning of our journey back to God. Liturgically this happens in the Sacrament of Penance. In the history of the Church, this Sacrament has been celebrated in different ways. Beneath the changes, there have always been two essentials: the acts of the penitent and the acts of Christ through the ministry of the Church. Both go hand in hand. Conversion must involve a change of heart as well as a change of actions. Neither is possible without God's grace.  USCCB


      First Reconciliation for children

      Jesus loved children. As a child himself, he was raised by Joseph and Mary in their home at Nazareth (cf. Mt 2:23). Growing up among relatives and townspeople, Jesus experienced the concerns and problems common to all children, such as sickness and death among family members. Within this setting, Jesus “grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him” (Lk 2:40).

      Jesus’ attention to children sets the proper context for helping children examine the conscience and preparing them for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This sacrament allows Jesus to express his love for children today. Through it, he continues to influence their lives; he demonstrates his power to heal them, to free them from the bondage of sin, and raise them to new life. In turn, this sacrament allows children to come to know and love Jesus. For these reasons, Jesus still exhorts us: “Let the children come!”  USCCB

      Students attend 1st and 2nd grades to prepare for First Reconciliation.  The child will receive First Reconciliation prior to receiving First Holy Communion.  1st grade is required.  If your child is older and has not received First Reconcilation, please contact the Faith Formation Office to make preparations to receive this sacrament.
