The Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the greatest graces we can receive from God again and again. It renews our soul, totally unburdens us, freeing us from past sins. It lets us know of God’s love for us and gives us the courage and strength to carry on. God is merciful and wants nothing more than for us to accept his mercy. When you go to confession you are given a clean slate.

Preparation for First Reconciliation and Holy Communion (Holy Eucharist)  are offered together for children in Grades 2 - 4.  See note below for youth in Grades 5+.
