Preparation for First Reconciliation begins in September for 2nd graders in our parish. These children receive instruction in class at St. Mary's Grade School or in Wednesday night Faith Formation sessions as well as through sharing at home with the whole family. There will be a parent meeting in October to help explain the importance of this Sacrament and to assist parents in preparing their children. There is also a retreat for the children shortly before the Sacrament, which takes place in January. If you have a 2nd grader in public school, please go to the Faith Formation tab for registration information.
