| THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
| |
Through
Reconciliation, the faithful obtain pardon from the mercy
of God for the offence committed against Him and are reconciled
with the Church, which they have wounded by their sins.
|
Confessions are heard every
Saturday after the 9:30 A.M. Mass until the last person is
heard.
Call for appointments if needed.
FIRST RECONCILIATION
- This program is part of the First Communion
program. In the archdiocese it is recommended that your
child must receive First Reconciliation before they can
receive their First Communion.
- The parish program is open to all valid
baptized children of the Roman Catholic Rite who have reached
the age of seven whether they are in public, private or
separate schools.
The sacrament should take place in the parish where the
family worships and attends most regularly.
- First Reconciliation is a sacrament
that should be celebrated with the worshiping community
and is not therefore a school event. First Reconciliation
celebrations take place at services during
the season of advent.
- The preparation for this sacrament takes
place in the home by the parents.
The parents must attend an information and registration
meeting at the church and family gatherings
