Reconciliation
The sacrament of Reconciliation celebrates God’s forgiveness in our life through the individual's reception of the sacrament from a priest. The person confesses their sins, receives and completes a penance, and is forgiven through the prayer of absolution. Children of the Catholic Faith celebrate the sacrament of First Reconciliation around the age of seven and the preparation for the sacrament is provided in our parish by a two year sacramental preparation program, found both in our religious education program and at St. Francis Xavier Catholic School.
