Reconciliation

• Tuesday - 5:30 PM (Church)
• Saturday - 8:30 AM (Day Chapel)
• Or anytime by appointment

The Sacrament of Reconciliation imparts to the sinner the love of God who reconciles: "Be reconciled to God." Sin is before all else an offense against God, a rupture of communion with him. At the same time it damages communion with the Church. For this reason conversion entails both God's forgiveness and reconciliation with the Church, which are expressed and accomplished liturgically by the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. (CCC 1420-1440)
