"'Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God's mercy for the offense committed against him, and are, at the same time, reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and which by charity, by example, and by prayer labors for their conversion'" (CCC, 357). 

The forgiveness of sins committed after Baptism is granted through a specific sacrament known as the sacrament of conversion, confession, penance, or reconciliation. When a sinner commits sin, they wound God's honor and love, undermine their own dignity as a person called to be a son of God and harm the spiritual well-being of the Church.

Returning to communion with God after losing it through sin is a process made possible by God's grace, as He is rich in mercy and deeply concerned for the salvation of humanity. 

One must earnestly seek this precious gift for oneself and for others. The movement of returning to God, referred to as conversion and repentance, involves a genuine sorrow for and rejection of the sins committed, as well as a firm resolve to avoid sinning in the future. Conversion addresses both the past and the future and is nurtured by hope in God's mercy. 

Confessions are offered daily at 9:30 am until 10 am. Confessions will also be offered on Saturdays from 5 pm to 6 pm. For all information regarding the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, Religious Education classes, or RCIA, please contact the Parish Office.
