Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (also referred to as Penance or Confession) has three elements: conversion, confession, and celebration. In this sacrament we find God’s unconditional forgiveness, and in going forth, we are called to forgive others.

We are excited to be using a program for the Sacrament of First Reconciliaiton called Signs of Grace: You are Forgiven. “Fun activities, entertaining videos, engaging student guides and compelling stories are all part of the Signs of Grace curriculum, helping children understand intellectually, spiritually and emotionally that the Sacraments are a real encounter with Jesus Christ. This program is designed with the whole family in mind and parents play a key role in the preparation of their children for the Sacraments.” This includes participation in the First Reconciliation Retreat and family pages in the children's books.

The Act of Contrition Prayer:
"O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you, and I detest all my sins, because of your just punishments; but most of all because they offend you, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.
