The sacrament of Reconciliation is offered to Catholics who are at or above the ‘age of reason,’ usually second grade, or older. Before receiving their First Reconciliation second graders should be formed for a period of time in order to prepare for their reception of the sacrament. This is done by the parents at home with resources provided by the parish. See the below links for a schedule pertaining to the sacramental preperation year, as well as formational resources.
Preparation for the sacrament of Reconciliation is offered to adults, teens and older children through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults program (RCIA). Please contact the Parish Office to register for RCIA. For more information on the RCIA program here at Sacred Heart click here.
