First Reconciliation

Children's First Reconciliation

First Reconciliation is generally celebrated when the child is in year 3 at school. The celebration is normally held in March of the same year as First Communion. The celebration of the sacrament is the communal Second Rite of Reconciliation, with candidates, their families and friends, as well as other parishioners all participating.

Information packs are distributed in January by email to those who celebrated their Confirmation in the previous year. Information packs are also distributed in hard-copy form during the first week of school to students in Year 3 at St Philip Neri and Northbridge Public School Catechist Class. They are also available from the parish office, at the rear of the churches and by download (see right column).

For more information, contact the Parish Office or Sacramental Coordinator, Marie Harris, at the Willoughby office.
