Sacramental Preparation for First Confession and First Communion Please include in your prayers the candidates who recently made their First Confession, as well as those who, for various reasons, are still preparing to do so. Regardless of age, all Catholics are encouraged to make the best possible use of the Sacrament of Confession. Parents are reminded that their children's First Confession should not be their last Confession. Likewise, parents, teens, and children who have been away from the Sacrament of Confession for any length of time are always welcome to return to Confession where they can sincerely confess their sins to a priest and receive absolution for any and all sins for which they are truly sorry.
Parish Church Office hours The Church Parish Office is open Monday - Thursday from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 noon and 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. |
