First Reconciliation
Parents introduce their children to the Sacrament of Reconciliation at the same time as First Eucharist. Being a registered parishioner and enrollment in a our year-long family formation program is required. A family-oriented preparation process is offered to assist parents with children in grade two.

First Reconciliation is celebrated in early February.

Parents and family members have found this preparation to be a good reason for them to again receive the graces of the Sacrament.
