Reconciliation & First Communion

Sacramental Preparation (for children in grade 2 and up)


In the Catholic Church, two sacraments mark a child’s growing faith: Reconciliation and First Communion. Reconciliation offers a chance to experience God’s love and forgiveness, preparing their hearts to receive Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time at First Communion. These joyful milestones strengthen their bond with God and the Church community, setting them on a path of lifelong faith and love.


Sacrament of Reconciliation

Following Jesus’ gift to his apostles – the power to forgive sins – Catholics cherish the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We all stumble from time to time, and this sacrament allows us to experience God’s boundless mercy and forgiveness. In the presence of a priest, we confess our shortcomings and receive guidance from the Holy Spirit. Through this sacred encounter, we are reconciled with God and the Church community, emerging with a lighter heart and a renewed spirit.


First Eucharist

The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” The other sacraments are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself.  It is the same Christ, really present under the species of bread and wine, who is the offering of the Eucharistic sacrifice.  As with all Sacraments, the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist invites our participation. As such, we must prepare ourselves for this Sacrament.
