Reconciliation

About the sacrament

It is also called the sacrament of conversion, of Penance, and of confession (CCC 1423–1424). Sin is “an offense against God, a rupture of communion with him,” and it also damages our communion with the Church (CCC 1440).

Those who come to this sacrament receive pardon from God’s mercy and are reconciled with the Church (CCC 1422). Catholics are bound to confess serious sins at least once a year, and anyone aware of a mortal sin should receive absolution before going to Holy Communion (CCC 1457).

Confession is available 30 minutes before each Mass. To arrange another time, call the parish office.
