Reconciliation

Overview

The Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as the Sacrament of Penance is the sacrament which allows us to return the state of our baptism, where we are freed from sin. It is in this sacrament that we find God’s unconditional forgiveness, and as a result we are called to forgive others. We are encouraged to receive the Sacrament of Penance frequently throughout our lifetime so that we can benefit from the graces we obtain through reception of this sacrament.

Confessions are heard at our parish on Saturdays from 4-5pm and on Tuesdays from 7:30-8:30pm.
