Reconciliation
 |
Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God's mercy for the offense committed against him, and are, at the same time, reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and which by charity, by example, and by prayer labors for their conversion. — Catechism of the Catholic Church, §1422 |
CHILDREN
The first Confession usually takes place in the 2nd grade. A candidate for the Sacrament of Reconciliation must have had religious instruction the previous year, with no more than three absences in the year. A candidate is also required to attend Mass each Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. Contact the Parish Office to learn more.
