First Reconciliation in our Parish 2026
Registrations are now open for the 2026
Sacramental Program!
Registrations are made through the Qkr! App. You can find it in your app store or use this link on desktop: https://qkr-store.qkrschool.com/store/#/home. The Parish website has a how-to guide for those unfamiliar: https://stjjvwestoncreek.blogspot.com/p/qkr-how-when-where-and-why.html. You can make an account and search for “Our Lady of the Annunciation Parish”. A profile for your child can be made under ‘profiles’, and forms are under the heading ‘Parish’, and then ‘sacrament’. Please reach out if you have any trouble.
Starting in 2026, children in Year 4 will make their First Reconciliation, Year 5 their First Holy Communion, and Year 6 Confirmation. If for any reason your child missed has making their First Reconciliation in previous years, they are invited to participate in a ‘catch up’ program for First Reconciliation in 2026 regardless of their year level.
