First Reconciliation

It is with great happiness and relief that we can announce that our Sacrament of Reconciliation can proceed. Obviously this may change and is dependent upon NSW Health guidelines.

If you registered earlier in the year and DID NOT receive an email from the Parish on Tuesday 2nd June, please check your junk mail or contact me on sacraments@stambrose.org.au. I need to get further information from you.

If you would like your child to receive the Sacrament but have not registered, it’s not too late! Please contact me on sacraments@stambrose.org.au.

God Bless You and Keep You Safe!

The Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as Penance or Confession, celebrates God’s forgiveness and is a prerequisite to the celebration of First Holy Communion.

First Reconciliation is a parish-based program. To participate in the program a child must be a baptised Catholic.  This sacrament is offered to children from Year 2 onwards.  The program also caters for older children, so if children have missed out in previous years, they are still welcome to enrol.

This program begins in Term 2 of the school year.  it begins with an information evening for parents, and then continues with four 1 hour parish based, small group sessions with both child and a parent.  Each group has a parent leader.
