We welcome families into the process of preparing your child to celebrate the wonderful and healing sacrament of reconciliation. The process is meant to be enriching for the whole family.
First Reconciliation preparation for families with children aged seven (Grade 2) and above is offered in the fall of each year. First Reconciliation preparation and celebration is open to registered Lumen Christi Catholic Community families. Children preparing for First Reconciliation must already be baptized in the Catholic faith. If you child has not yet been baptized, or has been baptized in another faith, please contact the Director of Faith Formation for information on alternative preparation processes.
Preparation Includes:
Parish Policies for Sacraments:
Children preparing for this sacrament and their families are supported throughout this process by the prayers, example, and faith of the Lumen Christi community. In turn, our community’s faith is strengthened by the witness these children bring them in their desire to be closer to God.
Second graders prepare for Reconciliation as part of First Eucharist preparation. Families who register second graders for First Eucharist preparation will automatically be included in First Reconciliation preparation.
Parents of third graders and older who would like their child to celebrate Reconciliation for the first time are invited to contact the Director of Faith Formation.
Please contact Lynn Schelitzche with questions.
