Reconciliation

Not only does it [the Sacrament of Penance] free us from our sins but it also challenges us to have the same kind of compassion and forgiveness for those who sin against us. We are liberated to be forgivers. We obtain new insight into the words of the Prayer of St. Francis: "It is in pardoning that we are pardoned."

Jesus entrusted the ministry of reconciliation to the Church. The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven. In confession we have the opportunity to repent and recover the grace of friendship with God. It is a holy moment in which we place ourselves in his presence and honestly acknowledge our sins, especially mortal sins. With absolution, we are reconciled to God and the Church. The Sacrament helps us stay close to the truth that we cannot live without God. "In him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28). 

Children prepare for First Reconciliation in conjunction with First Eucharist.

Held the 2nd-5th Saturdays from 3 - 3:30pm and 1st Saturdays from 8:45 -9:15am following First Saturday Mass. Also available by appointment, please call the Parish Office.  

Archdiocesan Reconciliation is scheduled during Lent at locations throughout the Archdiocese.
