Sacrament of Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of two Sacraments of Healing. It is the Sacrament that brings spiritual healing for Catholics who have distanced themselves from God and from others by committing sins.

There are four elements involved:

• a person's contrition for sin
• confession of sins to a priest
• absolution by a priest
• satisfaction

Through penance, the faithful receive pardon through God's mercy for the sins they have committed. At the same time, they are reconciled with the Church community. The confession, or disclosure, of sins frees us and facilitates our reconciliation with others.

Note: beginning on Saturday, February 6, Confessions will be heard 2:30-3:30pm instead of 2:00-3:00pm.
