This story of the "First Confession" by Frank O'Connor is a story about this very bad child that tries to kill his sister and grandma. He is a catholic boy so at this point in his life he takes his first communion course. When he's done with his course he goes to confess with the priest, he confesses and the priest tells him to say three hail marys. He says them and all of a sudden his life turns around, he gets candy and now he is a good boy. This story relates to Ireland because in this country they are very catholic, and so people there are good when they confess to the priest.
The church I go to is in 4th and pierce, it is called "Our Lady of Guadalupe" and it is a catholic church. Some activities we do there are "palm sunday", "ash wednesday", and "posadas". In ash wednesday the priest places ash on ur forehead in the shape of a cross to represent the resurrection of christ and his death, and in the other activities we do similar things as in the fact that we all praise god or the "Virgen de Guadalupe". My church beliefs are in heaven and hell, Jesus Christ, and saints and virgins as in "La Virgen de Guadalupe".
