On Saturday, October 10, 2015 and continuing through the first weeks of December 2015, some of our parish children will be receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time.
A few of the families in the Sacramental Prep class will come to the Church each week on Saturday at 3:30 P.M— the regular day for the Sacrament of Reconciliation at St. Pat’s with 30 minutes added on at the beginning to ensure there is ample time for everyone who desires to receive the sacrament. Continue to keep these families in your prayers.
You might have noticed children wearing a wooden cross necklace to Mass or parish events. The cross was placed on them on by their parents on the day of the Covenant of Faith to signify their journey this year as they prepare to receive the sacraments.
“There are people who are afraid to go to confession, forgetting that they will not encounter a severe judge there, but the immensely merciful Father,” said Pope Francis. Do not be afraid. Join the children in sharing the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
