There will be two class options for First Reconciliation classes (for children and at least one parent), with classes being held every other week. At the end of the four classes, there will be a retreat for the students and the celebration of the sacrament will follow. This year, the options for classes will be as follows:
Option A - Wednesdays, 4:15 PM October 12 October 26 November 9 November 23
Option B - Thursdays, 6:00 PM October 13 October 27 November 10 November 24
