First Reconciliation

“Come now, let us talk this over, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” - Isaiah 1.18"

First Reconciliation typically happens during the first half of a child's second grade year. Every parent must register their child for the preparation program. Please print this form and return to the St. John parish office.

Parents of children who are past second grade and have not received Reconciliation or Communion should come to the parish office to plan a personalized program for their child. Adults, even those baptized in the Catholic Church, who have not received these sacraments should participate in the RCIA.

God’s forgiving, healing love helps us to grow and become sharers in the ministry of reconciliation. As Christian parents, we lay the foundation of this ministry by giving unconditional love, forgiveness and reconciliation to our children. And as our children experience this in our care, they begin to glimpse the true nature of the love of God and the promise of lasting peace and happiness, which is God’s promise to us.
