First Reconciliation - Tuesday January 17th

Dear Second Grade Parents,

First Reconciliation is Tuesday, January 17th, at 7PM in Church. Please arrive with your child by 6:50PM, as the service will begin promptly at 7:00PM. You may sit with your child in the front of church. There are no assigned seats. This is a simple service and there will be programs to follow. The children are to wear Sunday clothes.

Following a prayer service, the students will be directed row by row to receive the Sacrament. May we ask you to maintain a respectful silence during this time. You may be waiting for awhile in the pew. Please walk with your child to the priest. Introduce your child and then step back to allow privacy. After your child is finished, walk with your child back to the pew, so that his/her penance can be said. You are free to leave at this time. Pick up your child's certificate and pin in the rear vestibule of the church. Parents are welcome to stay and receive the Sacrament after all the children are finished.

Thank you for your support, as we strive to provide a prayerful atmosphere and a positive experience for our children as they receive this Sacrament of peace for the first time.

Second Grade Teachers and Staff
