First Reconciliation

The basic guidelines for a child to prepare are:

1. The child must be baptized into the Catholic faith.
2. At least one year of Religious Education either in a Catholic school or a parish Religious Education Program must be completed.
3. Current enrollment in a Catholic School or a Religious Education Program is required.
4. The family must be registered at Peace of Christ Parish.

It is worth noting, a child does not have to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before they receive the sacrament of First Eucharist.

A child is more developmentally able to grasp the concept of sin and forgiveness when they are a little older, which is why the sacrament of Reconciliation is offered to children in grades 4 and higher.
