"Neither do I condemn you. Go, [and] from now on do not sin anymore.”
John 8:11
First Reconciliation
Second grade is an exciting time for our young Catholics. They are about to receive Jesus into their hands, but, before they can receive the Lord in the Eucharist, they must experience His grace in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This Sacrament wipes away all their sins, purifying and preparing them to receive the Eucharist.
This year, we will be using a brand new program called Blessed from Dynamic Catholic. This program was designed with the help of the Disney Animators, so you know it will be engaging!

Schedule for '19/'20
Prior to the first session, we ask that families complete chapter one of the program. There is a link to the program book and videos at the bottom of this page.
