First Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a celebration of God's abundant love for us!  In this sacrament we celebrate Jesus' invitation to forgive as the ultimate testimony of our love.

Preparation of children for the Sacrament of Reconciliation takes place as an integral part of the preparation for First Communion.  Ordinarily, children prepare for this sacrament at about the age of seven, or when they are in second grade. For additional details concerning this preparation, please go to the First Communion tab you see in the column at the left.

If you are an adult who has not yet received this Sacrament, please contact one of the priests.  

Should you have additional questions concerning preparation for this or any other sacrament, please contact Tom Rinkoski, the Director of Faith Formation at  (352) 372-3533, ext. 152 or by e-mail to tomrinkoski@yahoo.com.
