“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them,

“Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained,” (John 20:21-23)

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Sacrament of Penance) is one of the most unique and beautiful aspects of Catholicism. Jesus Christ in His abundant love and mercy establish the Sacrament of Confessions, so that we as sinners can obtain forgiveness of our sins and reconcile with God and the Church. The Sacrament “washes us and clean,” and renews us in Christ. The Sacrament of healing is offered on Saturdays before the anticipated holy masses, and by appointment with the parish priest. Our parish and all the parishes in the diocese participate in “The Light Is On For You” campaign  during  the seasons of Lent and Advent to celebrate this Sacrament of healing. During those particular two days, all/many parishes in diocese the churches are open and the priests are at confessionals from 4:00PM to 7:00PM. 

Navigate in our Faith Formation section of our website to see how our parish prepares our children for the First Reconciliation. If you have any question on this Sacrament, please contact the parish office.
