First Reconciliation

Last Updated on Tuesday, 08 May 2012 13:03

For youth entering grade 2 in the fall of 2012:

The preparation for the Sacrament of First Reconciliation will be in the fall of 2012.  It will include peer learning sessions in classrooms, a large group session with parents and children together, as well as some home learning activities.  We will celebrate the Sacramend in November 2012.

Preparation at Home and at Church

The preparation process includes both activities at church and a program of home study. We expect parents to be fully involved in preparing their children to receive these sacraments. As the bishops of the Second Vatican Council proclaimed, parents are “the first to pass on the faith to their children and to educate them in it,” and they should receive “training, at once many sided and complete” if they are to be “fully effective.”  To support this, we provide a series of parent education sessions as well as parent and child learning experiences.

First Reconciliation Preparation Begins with all Faith Formation classes on October 3 and 7, 2012
