Through Reconciliation we seek forgiveness for our sins and celebrate God’s everlasting love for us. Sin hurts our relationships with God, ourselves and others. In the Sacrament of Reconciliation,
penitents receive absolution and God’s grace.

Children in the second grade at Immaculate Heart of Mary School are prepared for First Reconciliation. Children not attending IHM School School are prepared in their second grade IHM Religious Education class. Before a child may receive First Reconciliation, he or she must complete two years of formal classroom religious education.


Parents of children not attending IHM School should contact the IHM Religious Education Program at (914) 723-7593 or for more information regarding First Reconciliation. Or, visit the
IHM Religious Education pages on this website
