Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God's mercy for the offense committed against Him, and are, at the same time, reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and which by charity, by example, and by prayer labors for their conversion. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1422)

Our Confession schedule can be found on our home page.

First reconciliation is celebrated when the children are in second grade, before they receive first communion. The St. John's School students will be taught specifically about first reconciliation and first communion on Mondays during their religion class. The religious education students will be taught during their class on Sunday mornings. Fr. Liekhus and Margaret Stimmler met with the parents of the children on Saturday, September 26, 2009. The kids and their parents met at the church for a mini-retreat on Saturday, January 9, 2010. The celebration of first reconciliation was on Saturday, January 16, 2010, at 10:30 a.m.

Please contact Fr. Jim Liekhus at 952-935-5536 ext. 420 to register your child for next year's first reconciliation.
