Preparing to Celebrate First Reconciliation  
Bishop Burdige

Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Penance brings about “reconciliation with God and therefore the forgiveness of sins; reconciliation with the Church...peace, serenity of conscience and spiritual consolation; and an increase of spiritual strength for the struggle of Christian living” ( 310).

Individuals may celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation on all Saturday afternoons between the hours of 3:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. in the Mary Chapel in the Lower School. The Sacrament may also be celebrated at other times by making an appointment with one of the parish priests.

During the seasons of Advent and Lent, a communal celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as a Penance Service) is scheduled at the parish.
