For All
Penance is an experience of the gift of God's boundless mercy.
The Sacrament of Penance (or Confession or Reconciliation) frees individuals from sins and it also challenges us to have the same kind of compassion and forgiveness for those who sin against us. If it has been a while since your last confession, remember, “Do not fear” (Is 41:10). The priest will help guide you. Feel free to take this how to guide with you:

For Children
Two years of faith formation classes are required by the diocese. Classes start in first grade and finish at the end of second grade. For the Sacrament of First Reconciliation there are three preparation sessions that take place at St. Patrick Church that are mandatory for parents to be present at. These sessions typically take place in the fall and precede the preparation sessions for First Holy Communion. Families with children preparing for sacraments must be registered at the parish.
Please Note: Sacramental Catch-Up Classes are offered for youth who have not received sacraments with their peers.
