Penance, or the Sacrament of Reconciliation, often called "Confession", is the sacrament in which Christ forgives us our sins and reconciles us to God and our fellow Christians.

"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.

"Only God forgives sins. Since he is the Son of God, Jesus says of himself, 'The Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins' and exercises this divine power: 'Your sins are forgiven.' Further, by virtue of his divine authority he gives this power to men to exercise in his name."
~ from Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 1441-1442

Reconciliation takes place every Saturday at 9:00 AM.
