God forgives Sin.

The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.

The confession (or disclosure) of sins, even from a simply human point of view, frees us and facilitates our reconciliation with others (CCC 1455).

St. Jane Frances de Chantal offers Confession most Tuesdays at 5:30pm. For a complete schedule, please check our calendar.

The whole power of the sacrament of Penance consists in restoring us to God's grace and joining us with him in an intimate friendship." Reconciliation with God is thus the purpose and effect of this sacrament. For those who receive the sacrament of Penance with contrite heart and religious disposition, reconciliation "is usually followed by peace and serenity of conscience with strong spiritual consolation." Indeed the sacrament of Reconciliation with God brings about a true "spiritual resurrection," restoration of the dignity and blessings of the life of the children of God, of which the most precious is friendship with God (CCC 1468).

Reconciliation is the confession of Sins and forgiveness of them by God. Children in Faith Formation complete their first Reconciliation in second grade.
