"Those who conceal their sins do not prosper,  but those who confess and forsake them obtain mercy."

Proverbs 28:13

In the sacrament of Reconciliation, the priest acts with the authority and commission of Christ to forgive the penitent's sins (cf. Mt. 16:19 and Jn. 20:22-23). 

Children prepare for their First Confession within the context of preparing for their First Holy Communion. This normally occurs during 2nd grade.  For students not enrolled in a Catholic school, our Sacramental Preparation program is offered on Wednesday evenings during the academic year. Registration opens in August each year.

For more information about the program, read here. If you have any additional questions or special circumstances, please contact John Hartnett at John.Hartnett@hfcmn.org.

Confessions are also available by appointment. Please contact the parish office at 952.929.0113 to set up an individual confession time.
 Here is a brief guide to making a good confession.
