Reconciliation
This is the Sacrament in which sins committed after Baptism are forgiven. It results in reconciliation with God and the Church. (US Catholic Catechism for Adults, Glossary)
Individual confession with a priest is the principal means of absolution and reconciliation of grave sins within the Church. The Sacrament of Reconciliation frees us from sinful patterns of behavior and calls us to complete conversion to Christ. Reconciliation heals our sins and repairs our relationships.
Celebrating the Sacrament
- Saturday 3:15 -3:30 St Columba
- Sunday 8:15 - 8:30 St Mary

“Giving one’s life does not only mean being killed; giving one’s life, having the spirit of a martyr, it is in giving in duty, in silence, in prayer, in honest fulfillment of his duty — in that silence of daily life, giving one’s life little by little.” — Pope Francis Reflection: Do you give your life for others in small ways on a daily basis? If not, what makes it challenging for you to have the spirit of giving of your life freely? This content comes to you from Our Sunday Visitor courtesy of your parish or diocese.
