In the Sacrament of Reconciliation we partake in the mercy of God, and through the ministry of the Church we receive the healing of our sins and are reconciled to God and to one another. This sacrament is a joyful sign of the triumph of God's Spirit in our lives. As with the Eucharist, Parent's have the privilege and responsibility of preparing their children for this sacrament. If children are unable to attend the Children's sessions, the parent's can do all of the preparation at home. If you would like to prepare your child at home or have questions please contact Fr. Rob.
