First Penance Preparation

This is a very special year for your child who will be making his or her First Penance! We have the privilege of preparing the children for this sacrament together.

Instructions for November 7, 2021 and beyond:

• Seminarian Braden Lynch led our presentation for parents and guardians on November 7, and the at-home preparation materials for First Penance were distributed.
  
  If you missed this gathering, please watch the video of Braden's talk below. Your child's teacher has given you the First Penance folder in class.


• Further below on this webpage are other optional (and brief) videos about Reconciliation that might inspire your understanding and appreciation of this marvelous sacrament as adults... and help you talk about it with your children.


• Please discuss and complete the lessons from the First Penance folder at home with your child. Folders with finished lessons should be brought with you on First Reconciliation Day (December 4) or they can be returned to the Parish Office or the school before then.


• First Penance will be celebrated on Saturday, December 4, 2021 at 9:30 AM in the Main Church with a group Penance Service followed by individual confessions for the children.
