" 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 and said to 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."

The sacrament of Reconciliation and Confession is a sacrament of healing though God's grace and mercy for the offences made against him.  Through Confession we seek God's forgivenes by repenting and asking to be reconciled to Him.  In doing so, we can obtain pardon for our sins and return to God’s grace. 

Frequent confessions help you to wash away sins, to grow in love with Jesus and with your neighbor in your spiritual journey of salvation.  We are blessed to offer the sacrament of Confession 6 out of 7 days in the week.

Confessions:

Monday - Friday: 5:30 PM (Confession ends a few minutes before the 6:30 pm mass)

Saturday: 4:00 PM (Confession ends a few minutes before the 5:00 pm mass)

Preparing for a good Confession:  Read below watch the videos 

• Take time to examine your consciousness: Follow the Link above and you can view the video Making a good Confession.
  
• Sign of the Cross: Confession begins with the Sign of the Cross. Additionally, you can offer a simple greeting to the priest and say hello or good morning.
• State your last confession: After your greeting, you can begin your confession by saying how long it’s been since your last confession. For example, if it’s been a year, you would say, “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. My last confession was one year ago.”
• Confession: It is now time to confess your sins, asking for forgiveness and opening dialogue with God himself. The priest stands in the name of the Church and Christ, who will guide you towards a healing and helpful confession. If you are unsure of what to say at confession, you can ask the priest for help. At confession, always remember you are putting your faith in trust in Christ, our merciful God who wants to forgive you of your sins.
