Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation offers us the comfort and peace of God’s forgiveness when we have sinned, together with the spiritual strength we need to resist temptation.

Throughout his public life, Christ proclaimed the mercy of God toward sinners. He had come, he said, to preach the good news of salvation and deliverance from sin. There is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just people who have no need of repentance.

Reconciliation is offered every Saturday in the Church. To receive this sacrament at another time, please call the Parish Office and set up an appointment with a priest.

Children prepare for and receive First Reconciliation in the course of preparation for First Eucharist.

Adults are prepared to receive Reconciliation through the OCIA.
