Penance/Reconciliation/Confession

Go In Peace and Sin No More...The Sacrament of Penance, also called "Reconciliation" or "Confession", is one of the means by which the endless power of the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross to forgive sins is distributed to the members of the Catholic Church. Baptism cannot be repeated so a second Sacrament is needed to absolve the sins of those who deface their baptismal dignity. Today, the Sacrament embraces the struggles of Christians in day-to-day living, as they turn from their sin and trust in God for forgiveness and mercy.
Catholics are urged to receive the Sacrament of Penance whenever they are conscious of mortal sin or at least once a year, whichever is sooner. This Sacrament is available on Mondays at 6:30pm during Adoration and on Saturdays at 4:30pm.
