Reconciliation

"Those who approach the Sacrament of Penance obtain pardon through God's mercy for the offence 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 labours for their conversion" 
(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1422).

A way back...

The Lord forgives our sins and gives us his peace, when we truly express our sorrow and regret and wish to change.
Please see our Newsletter for the days and times when the Sacrament is normally celebrated.

God is Merciful

Since the disclosure or confession of sins to a priest is an essential element of this sacrament. In a sense it is also a "confession" - acknowledgment and praise - of the holiness of God and of his mercy shown towards sinful man.
