Reconciliation (Confession) is the sacrament for those who have been baptised, where forgiveness of sins is given to those who repent and do penance for their sins. It involves the confession of sins to the priest. The priest then gives a penance (usually some prayers or a scriptural reading) and absolution – a declaration of God’s forgiveness. Sometimes we support this Sacrament with a service of Reconciliation where we celebrate God’s love for us.

Children over the age of 7 are prepared for Reconciliation within the parish.
