WHAT IS RECONCILIATION?

The Lord gave us Reconciliation (Confession or Sacrament of Penance) as a means of being cleansed of our sins and being united with Him and the Church.

WHEN CAN I GO TO CONFESSION?

We have many opportunities to received the Sacrament of Penance:

Monday through Friday from 11:30-11:55 a.m.
Monday through Thursday from 5:00-5:25 p.m.
Saturday from 3:30-4:15 p.m.
Sunday from 8:45-9:15 a.m.

In addition, we offer a Parish Penance Service during Lent and Advent.  On those evenings, the church is open for quiet reflection and several priests are available to hear confessions.  Please check the calendar and bulletin for dates and times.

DO I HAVE TO SIT FACE-TO-FACE?

No. Our confessionals provide for face-to-face if you prefer, but you can also receive the sacrament from
behind a screen.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GO TO CONFESSION?

Catholics are encouraged to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation regularly, at least during Lent and in preparation for Christmas. By Church Law, those conscious of serious sin must confess as soon as possible and may not receive our Lord in Holy Communion until they have received absolution sacramentally.
