Reconciliation
The sacrament of Reconciliation acknowledges God’s
unconditional love for us as we turn to Him and to the Church for
sacramental forgiveness and reconciliation. In determining if their
child is ready to prepare for Reconciliation, the parent together
with the Church must determine if the child can distinguish between
an accident, a mistake, and a purposeful action. The child must
also understand the need for forgiveness, not only from parents
and others close to them, but also from God.
Preparation for the First Reconciliation is usually
done during the winter months with a group celebration of the sacrament
held during the season of Lent. Preparation for the sacrament is
also available to individuals at any time of the year on an individual
basis through the Office of Faith Formation.
