First Confession

Preparation for confession is typically part of the 2^nd Grade CCD class, prior to First Holy Communion. It is celebrated during the season of Lent each year.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Penance)

The peace of mind and soul which this sacrament imparts to us is one for which there is no substitute.

It is a peace that flows from a certainty, rather than from an unsure hope, that our sins have been forgiven and that we are right with God.

The sacrament of Reconciliation is a sacrament in which the priest, as the agent of God, forgives sins committed after Baptism, when the sinner is heartily sorry for them, sincerely confesses them, and is willing to make satisfaction for them.

By his death on the Cross, Jesus Christ redeemed man from sin and from the consequences of his sin, especially from the eternal death that is sin's due.

So it is not surprising that on the very day he rose from the dead, Jesus instituted the sacrament by which men's sins could be forgiven.
