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 257-2493 or [email protected].

Sacramental Prepration for Reconciliation
Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist is generally done for children in second grade. however, parents can choose to have their child celebrate First Reconciliation in second grade and wait until third grade for First Eucharist. Per diocesan guidelines, children planning to celebrate these sacraments must be enrolled in both the sacramental preparation sessions and the faith formation program.

Our First Reconciliation and First Eucharist preparation programs will once again be combined with Immaculate Conception this year. We will be using the God's Gift sacrament textbooks from Loyola Press.

First Reconciliation sessions will begin in October and will be held weekly (except for Thanksgiving week) on Thursday evenings. 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.
