Sacraments are not something we GET: They are an ENCOUNTER with Christ.

First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are significant milestones in the spiritual journey of a Catholic, marking deeper engagement with the sacramental life in Christ. Through preparation, parents and children come to know more fully the love of Jesus and His mercy and forgiveness that leads to the fullness of life.

First Reconciliation, also known as Confession or Penance, offers individuals the opportunity to seek forgiveness and grace by confessing sins, thereby fostering spiritual growth and renewal. This sacrament underscores the importance of introspection and the healing power of God’s mercy.

First Holy Communion, on the other hand, is a profound moment where individuals, often children, receive the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, for the first time. This sacrament is a celebration of unity with Christ and the Church, reinforcing the spiritual nourishment and strength derived from participating at the Lord’s Table.

Together, these sacraments are foundational layers in living a sacramental life, promoting a closer relationship with God and the community of believers. The primary goal of sacramental catechesis is the formation and transformation of the person as they prepare to receive a sacrament.
