The Sacraments of First Reconciliation & Holy Communion
The Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are important steps in a child’s faith journey. First Reconciliation, also known as Confession, is when a child first receives God’s forgiveness for their sins through the sacrament of Penance. It is a time for reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal.
Following Reconciliation, children prepare to receive First Holy Communion, where they are invited to partake in the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist. This sacrament deepens their relationship with Jesus and strengthens their connection to the Church.
Both sacraments are celebrated with prayer, preparation, and a deeper understanding of God’s love and grace. These milestones are a beautiful way for children to grow in their faith and share in the life of the Church community.
IMPORTANT: Unless your child was baptized here at St Margaret’s, the parish priest or one of the catechists must be shown a Baptism Certificate before the Communion.
