IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Reconciliation February 6, 2027

​

 

 

Sacrament of Reconciliation
 

At your child’s Baptism, you as a parent, were told that “you would be the first and best teachers of your children in the way of faith.”  The best preparation for the Sacraments is Mass attendance, your good example in the faith, and proper catechesis. 

 

First Reconciliation will be held on Saturday, February 6, 2027.  Students with the last name beginning with A-L will be at 9:30 AM and students with the last name beginning M-Z will be at 11:30 AM.    The children will sit together in front of the church with their teachers. Parents will be seated in the back section of the Church.  

 

There will be a short prayer service before the children receive their First Penance.  After the prayer service the teachers will direct the children to one of the priests who will be hearing confessions.  When your child has finished confession, they will proceed to the front of the church to say their penance.  

​

Children making First Reconciliation are asked to dress in “Sunday best”.
 

SACRAMENTAL FEE:There is a minimal fee of $30.00 Sacramental fee to help offset expenses incurred for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. Please hand in the fee by November 1, 2027.  This is a one-time fee and covers both Sacraments.
