Penance

The people of God accomplish and perfect continual repentance in many different ways. They share in the sufferings of Christ by enduring their own difficulties, carry out works of mercy and charity, and adopt ever more fully the outlook of the Gospel message. Thus the people of God become in the world a sign of conversion to God. All this the Church expresses in its life and celebrates in its liturgy when the faithful confess that they are sinners and ask pardon of God and of their brothers and sisters. This happens in penitential services, in the proclamation of the word of God, in prayer, and in the penitential parts of the Eucharistic celebration.(Rite of Penance, 4)

In the Archdiocese of Baltimore, children are expected to celebrate the sacrament of Penance prior to First Eucharist. Many children prepare for and celebrate Penance for the first time around the age of seven.

Registration is now open for sacramental preparation.  Check links below for more information and necessary forms.
