"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.
