"Being a mission-oriented Church that forms disciples of Jesus"
First Reconciliation & Eucharist
Registration is now closed for the Winter/Spring of 2023.
Parents are the domestic church. It is our prayer that you will set intentional time aside to keep the Lord's Day holy. In the Hebrew tradition of the seder meal, the youngest child asks the father, '"What makes this night different?"
In the Christian tradition, Sunday is different because this day belongs to God. We celebrate that by intentionally spending time in prayer and community (your family community at this time until we are able to return to parish family community) to recognize the great gifts that God has poured out for us, namely, His Son Jesus. You are encouraged to help your children continue to build that relationship through prayer and listening to the Word of God and to grow in that love.
First Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is an encounter with the mercy of God. It is a recognition that one has failed in their relationship with God and the Church. It is the very essence of the reason that Christ came and died for us.
