1st Reconciliation
All 2nd grade students, whether attending parochial, public, or home schools, will attend classes and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation together at St. Cecilia. Parents are the primary witnesses for their children. Therefore, the parents are highly involved in our sacramental preparation programs. St. Cecilia's sacramental preparation program contains instruction for both parents and students.
