RECONCILIATION
Reconciliation is about God’s love and forgiveness. Catechesis for the Sacrament of Reconciliation begins in level 1 as children begin to look at the choices they make in their daily lives and evaluate them as loving or unloving acts. The Sacramental Program for Reconciliation is held in level 4. Parents and children are required to attend these special sessions.
Younger children experience reconciliation through a simple yet meaningful Sorry Service, at their age level.
We invite children in grades 2 and 3 to prepare for and celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation if parents feel their child is mature enough to understand the meaning of the sacrament.
