Sacrament of Reconciliation

The Diocese of Grand Rapids has instituted a new policy for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Beginning this year, second grade students will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and First Communion.

Therefore, it is necessary to bring the 3rd and 4th grade students up to date. Nancy Helsel will be teaching a combined class for them. The classes will take place in September before the regular Wednesday night G.I.F.T. classes begin. The Sacrament Reconciliation for the 3rd and 4th grader students will be celebrated on Monday, October 1, 2007, in the church.
