Reconciliation

Weekly Confessions are heard on Saturdays from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm. 

 

Twice during the year, during Advent and Lent, we host a Penance Service where several area priests along with our own priests join together to hear the confessions of the faithful in preparation for the Christmas and Easter celebrations.

 

In order for a child to make their First Reconciliation before they can receive their First Eucharist they must be enrolled in, and have completed the first year of Religious Education.  Please contact Maryann Humbert, Director of R.E. to find out how to enroll your child at 949-951-0792.
