First Reconciliation

Children at Lumen Christi celebrate First Reconciliation (i.e., Confession, Penance) in second grade. Preparation for Reconciliation includes participation in Catholic Formation classes and/or the parish school religion class in first and second grade. Children who do not complete the first year of preparation in first grade can either complete it in second grade (and celebrate the sacrament in third grade) or request a make-up material packet. This packet must be completed before October. 

Parents help their children prepare for Reconciliation by bringing them to Mass each week, attending the family preparation sessions in October, and working on their workbook at home. Information regarding this session and preparation for the sacrament is sent in September to families of children registered in second grade in the parish school or formation program.  The Sacramental fee for First Reconciliation is $20.00. 

The family sessions for First Reconciliaton will be held on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 and Saturday, October 27, 2018.  Families must attend one of these sessions.

First Reconciliation is scheduled for Saturday, January 19, 2019 and Saturday, Febrauary 2, 2019.
