“First Reconciliation” and “First Holy Communion” when child has reached 2nd grade level, they will be making these next two sacraments. In addition to sessions there will be 2 workshops for parents/guardians and children to attend. Both workshops will be held on a Sunday before the 10:00 AM Mass.
Reconciliation
Below is the Act of Contrition the children will learn. Please encourage them to practice it at home.
ACT OF CONTRITION
My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong
and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you,
whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help,
to do penance,
to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior, Jesus Christ,
suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy. Amen
First Communion
Once a child has made their first confession, they are ready to prepare for First Holy Communion.
