The Sacrament of Reconciliation (the Sacrament of Penance or Confession) is an invitation for Catholics to experience the love and mercy of God the Father through the ministry of priests. Catholics can experience healing through forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God and His Church.
Catholics are always welcomed back to receive this sacrament - whether it has been two weeks or two decades since the last Confession. Often those who have gone to Confession relay experiencing peace and joy and feeling the weight come off their shoulders as they receive forgiveness for their sins. If you have not gone to Confession in a while, we want to welcome you back and take part in this beautiful sacrament of healing.
First Communion Preparation for Youths
Preparation for both First Communion and First Reconciliation typically begins during a child’s 2nd-grade year. We use an amazing program called Signs of Grace by the Augustine Institute and it prepares our kids and their parents in for this great gift in ways that are meaningful and memorable!
St. Francis School students receive their preparation during the school day. Non-school students are invited to sessions on Sundays between the morning Masses during the fall.
For specific youth Sacramental Prep questions, please contact Diane Roddy.
We will open enrollment for Fall 2022 soon! (Please note that school students do not need to register for Sacramental Prep - it is included in their school enrollment).
