First Reconciliation - Early Spring 2011

As we are moving the age of preparation for First Reconciliation back to grade two to be in line with the diocesan preference, all children who are grade two and above are invited to prepare. Preparation includes presentations as part of the Level II atrium and other supplemental materials.

First Reconciliation will be celebrated on Saturday, March 12, 2011 with a retreat for students from 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. and a Penance Service at 11:30 a.m. with the families. Children may also schedule a time with any of the priests or come during the regular Saturday Confession time.
