Jesus gave the Church, through Saint Peter, the power to forgive or to retain sins. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is the means by which the Church exercises the ministry of forgiveness. Even after Baptism and Confirmation, we remain fragile beings. As a result, every so often we turn away and from time to time, break off our relationship with God. When this happens, we are in need of forgiveness and healing.
It is through the sacrament of Reconciliation that we meet Jesus. It is through this Sacrament that He restores hope, completeness, and fulfilment. In this way we find closeness and are reconciled with ourselves and God.
First Reconciliation for Children
This is an annual program for children who have been baptized in the catholic faith and have received the Sacraments of Communion and Confirmation.
Our First Reconciliation program here at St. John 23rd endeavours to teach children the significance of God’s forgiveness for our sins and how his healing reconciles us to Him.
Enrollment forms will only be available at the Parents’ Information Night only.
