First Reconciliation
This formal Religious Education program is supplemental in
the preparation of a child for the sacraments.
Much of the preparation is done in the family setting. The Faith Formation Office will provide
materials and guidelines. At St. Malachy
Church children are to be in at least their second year of religious education
in order to prepare for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
A parent/child workshop is offered in the fall for second
grade families. This prayerful workshop
is the basis for family sacramental preparation. Children make first Reconciliation at either
the Advent or Lent parish Reconciliation Services, or during the regular
Saturday reconciliation time.
