The whole power of the sacrament of Reconciliation/Confession consists in restoring us to God's grace and joining us with him in an intimate friendship. Reconciliation with God is thus the purpose and effect of this sacrament. For those who receive the sacrament of Penance with contrite heart and religious disposition, reconciliation is usually followed by peace and serenity of conscience with strong spiritual consolation. Indeed the sacrament of Reconciliation with God brings about a true "spiritual resurrection," restoration of the dignity and blessings of the life of the children of God, of which the most precious is friendship with God (CCC 1468).
Confession is on Saturdays from 5:30 PM to 5:45 PM or weekdays by appointment.
First Confession: all parents, including those of Catholic school children, are required to attend a series of preparation classes so that they may become directly involved in preparing their children for the sacrament.
The children are to be in 2nd grade or above. They are expected to have attended either Catholic school or religious education classes the year of sacramental reception and the year previous to reception. First Confession usually takes place in the Fall of each year. -
