FIRST RECONCILIATION

As part of our Faith Formation program for grades 2-3, we explore the meaning of rituals, symbols, gestures, and prayers to prepare our children for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. The program is designed to touch the heart as well as the head, engaging children using story, Scripture, doctrine, and prayer.

Normally a twelve-month preparation period is required; however, parishioners may begin the scheduling process 6-10 months in advance.

SACRAMENTS

The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments. (CCC 1113)


While we believe that human life is infused with the sacramental goodness of God, the Catholic Church has defined seven sacraments - instituted by and through the life of Jesus Christ. It is through the experience of the sacramental ritual that we are infused with God’s grace. The Sacraments nourish and strengthen us as they express and build up our faith.
