Reconciliation

"[W]hen the door starts closing a bit because of our weakness and sins,
confession reopens it.”
—Pope Francis 

Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is available on Saturdays from 4–4:45 p.m. and on other days by appointment. Please contact the Parish Office to make an appointment at istcathe@dor.org or 257-2493.

Sacramental Prepration for Reconciliation
Our children are prepared for their First Reconciliation in our Youth Faith Formation program in the second grade. Children must celebrate First Reconciliation before they can receive First Eucharist.

The preparation process for First Reconciliation is family-centered. Preparation classes are held in addition to regular faith formation classes and begin in late fall, with the sacrament occurring in December. Parents attend the classes with their children.  

A special session can be held for older students who have not yet received this sacrament.
