On Saturday the 7th of March, we all attended St. Peter's Church to make our First Reconciliation.
Father John and Father Brian.
Most of us went to see Fr. John and we were really nervous at first, (Miss Jenkins too!) but once it was over and we said our Act of Contrition, we were so proud AND we even got a certificate!
