The Sacrament of Reconciliation, Penance or Confession will be celebrated for the first time in the early Spring of the second year of study. Parents are an important part of the learning process and are expected to attend a parent meeting, participate in the Reconciliation and Communion Retreat prior to the child recieving the sacrament for the first time. Children must be prepared to recite the Sign of the Cross, an Act of Contrition,  Hail Mary and Our Father by the time they receive Reconciliation.
