FIRST RECONCILIATIONS - fEBRUARY 8TH & 15TH, 2025
Parents and their Grade Two child are asked to come to the Parish Hall for the time indicated for their child’s First Reconciliation. There will be parish staff in the Hall to direct families and provide them with information about how they will be directed into the church for their child’s individual Reconciliation with a Priest. Please note, that the children will be given a Penance by the Priest following their Reconciliation. There will be a Penance Area in the last few pews at the back of the Church (under the balcony). The children will be directed to pray their Penance in this area, then meet their parents at the entrance to the Church and exit through the Martin Street doors.
For further details, please view the Parents Video for the Day of Reconciliation here: https://www.holyrosaryparish.ca/first-sacrament-videos.html
If families are unable to attend the First Reconciliation dates listed above, they are invited to attend one of the regularly scheduled Reconciliation celebrations for the Parish on Tuesday evenings after Mass at 7:40 or on Saturday between 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm. We thank you in advance for your patience and your ongoing support of this important next step in your child’s faith journey.
