Reconciliation

The sacrament of Reconciliation also known as Penance and Confession, is a sacrament of healing and highlights the merciful nature of God.

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

First Holy Communion

First Holy Communion is the second sacrament of initiation.  Through Communion we are united in a special way with Jesus.

1 Corinthians 11:24

And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
