(First Reconciliation / First Communion)

First Reconciliation

Preparing children for the Sacrament of Reconciliation allows us to show them that God is love and that in mercy He is always ready to forgive, no matter what the wrong. It assures them that God already knows the secrets of our hearts, but sometimes we need to name these aloud in order to prepare our hearts to renew the experience of God's love and forgiveness. It shows them that just as God is One, God dreams that we might all be one as well--one with each other and one with God. God's will is that all people will be reconciled with one another and with God.  What an extraordinary gift!

First Communion

At the Last Supper, Jesus instituted the Eucharist, the gift of his Body and Blood that perpetuates his sacrifice on the Cross through the ages. He entrusts to the Church the memorial of his death and resurrection in this Sacrament: a sign of unity and a bond of charity. When the Church celebrates the Eucharist, it commemorates Christ's Passover and the sacrifice offered once and for all on the cross. The Eucharist makes God's saving actions in Jesus Christ ever present for every age of the Church.
