The Sacrament of Penance

Also called the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession.

First Penance

Instruction is given for 2nd Grade children in the fall using a communal celebration for their first experience. Parent involvement is key in preparation for this sacrament. First penance should precede First Communion preparation.

Sacrament of Penance

Private: Saturdays: 9:15 am or anytime by appointment

Communal: Offered during the Advent and Lenten seasons (before Christmas and Easter)

Why Reconciliation
Sin is before all else an offense against God, a rupture of communion with him. At the same time it damages communion with the Church. For this reason conversion entails both God's forgiveness and reconciliation with the Church, which are expressed and accomplished liturgically by the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.
