In the Sacrament of Reconciliation (or Confession... or Penance), we reflect on our lives, ask for advice and forgiveness, and make a commitment to change. Jesus sent his apostles, St. Peter (our first Pope) and the others who we'd come to acknowledge as the first bishops, out into the world to spread the gospel. Part of this mission included the forgiving of sins, and has evolved into the tradition we practice today in Confession where – through the Priest – Jesus meets us in our brokenness to heal us.

First Confession Preparation is part of a two-year process in the Faith Formation program to ready a child for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion.
