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. Beginning in the 2023-24 school year, children who do not complete the first year of preparation in first grade will need to go through two years of formation in order to celebrate the sacramanet.
Parents help their children prepare for Reconciliation by bringing them to Mass each week, attending the family preparation sessions in October and the children's retreat in January 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 Sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated on two days:
Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at 5:30 PM
Saturday, January 21, 2023 10:30 AM
The Sacramental fee for First Reconciliation is $40.00.
