Reconciliation

What is Reconciliation?

The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance or Confession) has four elements: contrition, confession, penance, and absolution. In it, we find God’s unconditional forgiveness. As a result, we are called to forgive others in our daily interactions with them. The Parish offers Lenten and Advent Reconciliation Services as announced in the weekly bulletin.

Catholics are invited to receive reconciliation with God during these times:

Saturdays: 8:45am & 4:00pm – 5:00pm or by appointment.
