Reconciliation
Every time we sin, we hurt ourselves, other people, and God. The Sacrament of Reconciliation (also called Penance or Confession) was given to us by Christ to help us reconcile with Christ and his Church when we have committed harm. Through the Sacrament, we acknowledge our sins, express our sorrow in a meaningful way, receive the forgiveness of Christ and his Church, make reparation for what we have done and resolve to do better in the future.
Weekly Reconciliation
Every Saturday 2:30 - 3:30pm or by appointment through the Parish Office 458-2500.
First Reconciliation
Preparing children for the Sacrament of Reconciliation allows us to show them that God is love and that in his mercy He is always ready to forgive, no matter what the wrong. In addition, God’s will is that all people will be reconciled with one another and with God.
If the child attends St. Raphael school, they will receive preparation for and the Sacrament of Reconciliation in 2nd grade.
If the child attends another school, they will take part in our PREP (Parish Religious Education Program). Click Here to contact Brandan Holbrook, the Director of Children’s Formation for more information.
