The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation
Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God's mercy for the offense committed against him, and are, at the same time, reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and which by charity, by example, and by prayer labors for their conversion.

FIRST RECONCILIATION/FIRST EUCHARIST
At least two years of formal religious education prior to the reception of these sacraments is diocesan policy. It is essential that your child have a sense of God and church community when they are preparing for a sacrament. Participation in Faith Formation is helpful in conveying this sense of community. The usual age for First Reconciliation & First Eucharist is seven years old (second grade) or older.
First Reconciliation and Eucharist are taught with the parent’s assistance and special age appropriate texts. Two years of formal Faith Formation classes are required, regardless of grade level.
