Reconciliation

Confessions scheduled on Tuesdays 11:30 a.m. - 11:50 a.m. and Saturdays 3:30 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. 
Special Reconciliation services are held during the seasons of Advent and Lent.

2nd Grade First Reconciliation

The Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion take place in 2nd grade. First Reconciliation is usually held during Lent and First Communion either late April or May. In order to receive both Sacraments the children need to be Baptized. If your child has not received the Sacrament of Baptism they will need to go through Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (RCIC). Children must receive both of these Sacraments in order to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in 8th Grade. 
Contact the Parish DRE for more information.

How often should I go to Confession?

In a guide to the sacrament of Penance, the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference of Bishops offer the following guidelines. 
Individual and integral confession remains the only ordinary way for us to reconcile ourselves with God and the Church.
A 
Catholic who has committed mortal (grave) sin is obliged to seek God's forgiveness in this sacrament as soon as possible.
 
In ordinary circumstances, a Catholic who has committed mortal sin should not receive Holy Communion before receiving sacramental absolution. Not only does God forgive our sins, but we also receive the power of God's grace to struggle against sin and to be strengthened in our commitment to God and the Church. So powerful is the grace of this sacrament that the Introduction to the Rite of Penancereminds us that frequent and careful celebration of this sacrament is also very useful as a remedy for venial sins. This is not a mere ritual repetition or psychological exercise, but a serious striving to perfect the grace of baptism so that, as we bear in our body the death of Jesus Christ, his life may be seen in us ever more clearly.
