FIRST RECONCILIATION FOR CHILDREN

In order for children to prepare for First Holy Communion in the spring, children must first successfully prepare for and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

The immediate preparation for the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation is done within the family home, with ongoing support from the parish staff. Parents of second graders (and older children who have not received the Sacrament) must attend an informational meeting that will assist them in preparing their children for First Reconciliation. This Parent Orientation will take place on Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 7pm in the TC Auditorium.  Textbooks and other required preparation materials will be distributed at this time.

According to Archdiocesan guidelines, children preparing to celebrate their First Reconciliation must be enrolled in either a Catholic school or the parish's School Religion both during the year of preparation as well as the year immediately prior to preparation.  In order to prepare for First Holy Communion in the spring, children must first successfully prepare for and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Preparation for First Reconciliation takes place in the fall. The First Reconciliation Service for our Youth will be on Saturday, November 19, 2011 @ 10:00am.
