Penance / Reconciliation

Please note that we will have a parish Penance Service at 7pm on Tuesday December 17th. After that, there will be no confessions until Saturday, January 4th.

Not only does it [the Sacrament of Penance] free us from our sins but it also challenges us to have the same kind of compassion and forgiveness for those who sin against us.  We are liberated to be forgivers.  We obtain new insight into the words of the Prayer of St. Francis: "It is in pardoning that we are pardoned."

from the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults

No solo [el Sacramento de la Penitencia] nos libera de nuestros pecados sino que  también nos desafía a tener la misma clase de compasión y perdón por aquellos que pecan contra nosotros. Estamos liberados para ser perdonadores. Obtenemos una nueva compresión de las palabras de la Oración de San Francisco. " Es perdonando que somos perdonados."
