Receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation

​

Any baptized Catholic, who has already received their First Reconciliation, may receive the Sacrament of Confession (or the Sacrament of Reconciliation) at any time throughout their lives.  If you never fully initiated into the life of the Church through First Reconciliation, First Communion, or Confirmation, please contact the Religious Education Office to begin the process of becoming fully initiated!

​

We believe that Jesus forgives our sins through the words of the priest, and since the priest is bound to the seal of confession, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain by going to the Sacrament of Confession and experiencing God's mercy.  Many priests, bishops, theologians, and Saints encourage trying to go to Confession once a month, but the minimum requirement is to go once a year, which might be surprising to some but is very beautiful and healing for our lives!
