The Sacrament of Reconciliation
Reconciliation - We all sin everyday. But, all sins - big or small - can be forgiven if only
we ask for it with a contrite heart. The Sacrament of Penance - commonly called
"confession" or "reconciliation" - is a sacrament of healing. It's a gift from God that allows
us to strengthen our relationship with him and celebrate his forgiving love. All it requires is
to be sorry for your sins and intend to not sin again.

Children typically celebrate their first Sacrament of Penance at the ages 7-8, prior to First
Holy Communion. Adults typically make their first confession through the RCIA process.

If it has been years since your last confession, and you don't know what to do, simply let
the priest know. He will guide you through the process.

Reconciliation is offered each Saturday during Eucharistic Adoration following the Saturday
4:00 PM Mass or by appointment. To arrange a hospital or home visit please
contact the
church office.

If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them;
if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.
