First Confessions

 First Confession 

Focal area for our prayers of penance

This year we have several groups preparing for the sacraments in our parish of St Peter's Cathedral and the Lancaster Martyrs, so lots to share.

At St Peter's Cathedral we have 12 young people and their families who have been meeting on Saturday mornings to prepare for their first confession.  On Saturday 21st February they made their first confession.

This is an important step in their faith journey and is the second of the seven sacraments.  In June they will make their first Holy Communion.  

After the children made their first confession they came and lit a candle and said their penance.

At St Joseph's there is another group who have just begun their preparation.
