First Reconciliation
‘Reconciliation is a celebration of God’s love and forgiveness, which is always available to us. The first celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation provides an occasion for the child to appreciate more fully the gift of conversion received in Baptism.’-Guidelines for the Sacrament of Reconciliation for ChildrenCatholic Diocese of Ballarat, p. 4.
Star of the Sea Parish has a First Reconciliation preparation program once a year for baptised children who are Year 4 or older.
Families at parish schools will be contacted by the school in the appropriate year for reception of the sacrament.
For those who aren’t within parish schools or whose children may have missed the reception of a sacrament of initiation within a parish school please contact the Parish Office.
For Parish Reconciliation times please refer to the ‘Mass Times’ webpage.
