Our preparation classes help parents and children understand the healing power of the First Reconciliation sacrament so they will be comfortable in preparing their child.
This Sacrament is generally celebrated in second grade if parents sense their child's readiness. Books are available for purchase.
Coordinators: Cole Epping, Katherine Byers, Joanne Long and Joyce Miller
