Congratulations to those who received God's love and mercy in their 1st Penance on Thursday the 15th!

The Sacrament of Penance (confession or reconciliation) is our introduction to the mercy of God.  Christ gives us this sacrament so that we can know His forgiveness and grow in humility. Christ leaves no question as to whether or not our sins are forgiven in the sacrament.  He shared His authority to forgive sins with His apostles and this authority has been handed on from generation to generation so we could all know Christ's mercy and love.   The informational letter and registration form is available here.

The Sacrament of Penance is celebrated in the second grade.  It is at this age that children have reached the "age of reason" which enables them to understand the basics of right and wrong.  First Penance will be December 15th at 6:30PM. 

The First Penance Retreat will be Saturday December 10th @ 9:30 AM.  First Penance will be December 15th @ 6:30 PM.
