Encounter His Merciful Love
Sin harms our relationships with God, ourselves, and others. Reconciliation restores us to grace, healing our hearts and renewing our mission.
About Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation isn’t about guilt. It’s about grace.
It’s not about shame. It’s about freedom.
It’s the moment you return to the Father who has never stopped waiting for you.
In Reconciliation, Jesus Christ meets you in your brokenness. He listens. He forgives. He restores. Through the ministry of the Church, He removes the weight of sin and fills you with peace that only He can give.
At the Avon Catholic Community, we invite you—no matter how long it’s been—to come and receive this healing sacrament. You are not alone. You are not too far gone. His mercy is waiting.

First Reconciliation for Children
When children prepare for Reconciliation for the first time, they are not just learning how to confess. They are discovering the heart of a loving God.
Our family-centered formation equips both children and parents to understand the beauty of this sacrament and how it sets us free.
It’s the moment you return to the Father who has never stopped waiting for you.
“Together in Jesus” is our parish formation ministry for children in Grade 2 from our Parish School of Religion (PSR), Holy Trinity School, St. Mary School, and Family Based Catechesis (FBC).
TIJ initially focuses on parents, who have the primary role in their children's formation. Parents gather for formation in community, fellowship, and prayer experiences at several times throughout the year.
These gatherings focus on the irreplaceable role of parents, the role of the community, and what we do to help our children prepare to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
Because this is a Sacrament of Initiation, mystagogy takes the children into deeper insights and appreciation for the gift of Reconciliation and Communion with Jesus.
