Preparation for reception of the the sacrament of reconciliation for the first time takes place in age-appropriate classes.

Children are prepared for their First Reconciliation in the second grade in connection with their preparation for receiving First Holy Communion. Children are required to attend either P.R.E. classes or have been enrolled in a Catholic school for the full year prior to beginning preparation to receive the sacrament. In other words, for a child to receive First Reconciliation and/or First Holy Communion in second grade, they must attend religion classes (PRE or Catholic school) in both first and second grades. Contact the Parish Religious Education office at 756-1213 for information about these classes.

Adults are prepared to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation as part of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program.  Please see the information on RCIA here.
