Reconciliation
Reconciliation unites us with a forgiving God. Through this sacrament we become reconciled with God, whom we have offended and bring healing to the Body of Christ, the Church.
Reconciliation is offered Wednesdays at 5:15 p.m. and other times by appointment with Fr. Michael.
Preparation for First Reconciliation (normally in 2nd grade) is through attendance at Parish Religious Education classes.
Additionally, there are a few Parish Communal Reconciliation services throughout the year. The dates and times of these events are announced in the bulletin and on the website home page.

Bishop Vincke, through prayer and consultation, has decided that as a Diocese we will proceed with the concept of the “restored order of the sacraments of initiation”. Baptism will continue to be offered at infancy, Reconciliation will continue to be offered in 2nd grade, but Confirmation and First Communion will be offered in 3rd grade in one Rite/Celebration. We will have four years to make the transition to the restored order. The following is how we are planning to implement the Restored Order of the Sacraments of Initiation. - (2025-2026) we will proceed as planned. -First Reconciliation, First Communion will be offered in 2nd grade. -Confirmation will be offered in 8th Grade. - (2026-2027) first adjustments. -First Reconciliation and First Communion will continue to be offered in 2nd grade. -Confirmation will be offered to 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. -As has been the practice, Confirmation students will receive the sacrament in the parish where - (2027-2028) next phase of adjustments. -First Reconciliation will be offered in 2nd grade. -First Communion will be delayed until 3rd grade. -Confirmation will be offered in 4th 5th and 6th grades. -Again, Confirmation students will receive the sacrament in the parish where their family are - (2028-2029) final phase of adjustments. -First Reconciliation will be offered in 2nd grade. -Confirmation will be offered in 3rd and 4th grade. -At that same Mass, 3rd graders will also receive their First Communion. This will complete the transition and from that time forward, the “restored order” will be in place. Which means Baptism will be offered at infancy, First Reconciliation will be offered in 2nd grade, and Confirmation and First Communion will be offered in 3rd grade in one Rite/Celebration.
