First Confession

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is vastly more than the confession of sins: when so many around us are seeking excuses for what they do, this sacrament calls us to take responsibility and to recognise the harm we have done, both to ourselves and to others, and even our world. When we take responsibility, we can learn and change and grow: what we do wrong does not have to be a stumbling block; it can be a turning point. The grace of this sacrament washes away our guilt and strengthens us to step forward.

 In school, the children gather in our 'Mission Control Centre'to prepare for their special Sacrament together.  We use a special set of resources called Heart Speaks to Heart: the Gift of Reconciliation.  Families can use the videos below to explore the lessons together at home too.
