The Sacrament of Reconciliation frees us from our sins committed after our Baptism. Sin hurts our relationship with God and wounds our communion with the Church. We all have human weaknesses. God reaches out to us through the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession).
Only God can forgive sins, however Jesus has shared his merciful mission with his apostles.
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the father sent me,
So, I send you.” Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the
Holy Spirit. If you forgive people’s sins, they are forgiven, if you do
not forgive them, they not forgiven.” John20: 21-23
Through the Sacrament of Holy Orders this authority given to the apostles continues today, by bishops and priests in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We invite to come to Jesus with a contrite heart and receive his divine mercy that will heal and restore your soul to God.
Confessions are every Saturday from 3:00 pm – 4:15 pm or by special appointment by contacting the parish office at 210-497-6101
