First Reconciliation - Sacrament Preparation

Holy Trinity Parish works in partnership with families as they journey with their child toward the first reception of this sacrament.  

First Reconciliation usually occurs with a child in second grade before they make their First Eucharist..  Those preparing for sacraments are expected to participate in a formal faith formation program (CGS, Catholic School, GIFT, Home Study, or other). Sacrament preparation is then in addition to on-going faith formation.  It includes several parent/child sessions and working through materials at home.  Celebration of the sacrament occurs in mid November.
