About

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is for our spiritual healing. It is also known as Confession or Penance.

According to the Gospels, after the Resurrection, Jesus appeared to the apostles, breathed on them, and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.” (John 20:22-23) That is why Jesus left us this sacrament; to heal our spiritual wounds, which we call sin. Receiving this sacrament pardons us from our sins through the mercy of God and reconciles us with the Church community.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered every Saturday from 3:00 to 3:45 pm (before the 4:00 pm Vigil Mass) or any other time by appointment. You can call the parish offices at any point to schedule a time that works for you.

“Christ speaks often of God’s forgiveness, but He also reminds us that God uses human beings and bestows His grace through them. Thus he desires us to confess our sins to the church and to receive sacramental absolution through the priest.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1457).
