The sacrament of reconciliation (confession) is our opportunity to receive pardon through God’s mercy for our sins and to be reconciled with the Church community. Going to confession is a spiritually and emotionally positive experience where we not only receive but also feel God’s love; we renew our baptismal innocence; we get advice for the soul; and we clear our consciences. It’s a good thing.
FIRST RECONCILIATION
First Reconciliation, the Sacrament of Forgiveness/Healing, is celebrated in the second grade prior to the reception of First Holy Eucharist. Preparation for the sacrament begins with a Parent-only session in October, continues with student classroom and homestudy, and is completed at a Penance Service in December. Second graders should be attending weekly Mass with their families, and are asked to complete three Mass Sharing sheets before reception of the sacrament.
Please, contact Julie Loscheider for more information at (952) 442-3703.
If you are an adult or youth who wishes to receive First Reconciliation, visit the “Becoming Catholic (OCIA)” tab.
