Reconciliation
Confession, Penance, or
Reconciliation is the sacrament by
which our sins are absolved by the
action of the priest when we humbly
and honestly confess our sins. Jesus
gave this ability to priests when he
told his disciples: “Whose sins you
forgive are forgiven them and whose
sins you retain they are retained.”
The priest represents not only Jesus
but also the community. When we sin
we affect no only our relationship
with God but also our relationship
with one another.
We are asked to make an act of
contrition, to resolve not to sin in
the future and to avoid whatever
leads us to sin. Schedule
The Sacrament of
Reconciliation is celebrated on
Saturdays from 4:00pm to 4:45pm.
