First Reconciliation Registration 2024-2025!

The Sacrament of First Reconciliation will be celebrated on Saturday, March 16, 2024 at 9am. | Preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation will consist of once-a-month parent/child meetings and weekly at-home lessons. Children and parents are required to participate in Christ the King's whole community faith formation program called, Emmaus and are expected to attend Sunday Mass every week.

It's important to know that the Sacrament of Reconciliation - or more commonly called, "confession," - is a sacrament of healing. It is not a place of shame or punishment. It's also good to note that we encourage parents and other family members to also go to confession on the day that their child is receiving it for the first time.

I very much look forward to walking with you and your child on this journey of faith!
I'm So Glad You're Here!

"A Sacrament is a visible sign of an invisible reality." Welcome to the Sacrament of First Reconciliation 2023/2024


Hi! I am so excited for you and your family. This is a very important and special time in your child’s life. It is the time when your child will come to know Jesus as their Savior, Lord, Father and Friend, present and eager to forgive and heal them in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. 

Please read the "Description" section carefully and complete the form below for each child who will be receiving this sacrament. 

Thank you! And may Christ's peace be ever with you!
Some Regular Basic Info...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Some Basic Catholic Info, please.
 
If your child was baptized in a parish other than Christ The King Parish in Concord, NH, we will need a copy of their baptismal certificate for our records. If you have the certificate, you can simply snap a photo of it and email it to me at jen@christthekingnh.org or to Kathy Planchet at kathy@christthekingnh.org. If you do not have their baptismal certificate in your possession, please contact the parish in which your child was baptized and request a copy of the certificate, or let me know and I will contact the parish directly. Once you receive the certificate, please take a photo and email it to me or Kathy. Thank you!

The Holy Mass
Please select one option.
"We go to Mass not simply because it’s an obligation. Rather, we attend Mass because it’s our loving response to the God who has loved us first. It is an active choice of the will to give of our time, treasure, and talent – knowing full well it will never amount to the sacrifice endured by our Savior." 

In the "Description" to the right, it is stated that Sunday (or Saturday Vigil) Mass attendance is expected. This is an expectation put forth not only by Father Rich and myself, but, much more importantly, by God himself, as it is written in the commandments. As Catholic parents you are now preparing your child/ren to receive the holy sacraments and as such, participating in Sunday Mass on a weekly basis is a must.
Please select all that apply.
