LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, who are in heaven, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, 
As we forgive those who trespass against us. 
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

HAIL MARY
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you
among women, 
And blessed is the fruit
of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
PRAYER OF PRAISE
Glory to the Father 
and to the Son, 
and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning, 
is now and will be forever.
Amen.
 
ACT OF CONTRITION
Jesus Christ,
Son of the living God, 
Have mercy on me, a sinner. 
OR
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.

 In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
 I have sinned against You whom I should love above all things.
 I firmly intend, with Your help, to do penance, to sin no more,
 and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
 Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
 In His Name, My God, have mercy. AMEN

PART 1: WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST RECONCILIATION DAY

Hey parents... been a while for you too? No worries. You are always welcome to return the Sacrament, even if it's been a few years or decades.  You can find the times on our website. Just let the priest know if you are a bit rusty with the process and they will explain everything. Seriously.
