“The Sacrament of Reconciliation—commonly called Confession—is one of the most unique and beautiful aspects of Catholicism. Jesus Christ, in His abundant love and mercy, established the Sacrament of Confession, so that we as sinners can obtain forgiveness for our sins and reconcile with God and the Church. The sacrament “washes us clean,” and renews us in Christ.”

“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’” (John 20:21-23)

OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONFESSION:
• At Saints John & Paul each Thursday from 6:00-6:45 PM in the Grotto, and each Saturday from 4:00-4:45 PM. This Sacrament can also be celebrated by appointment by contacting the Parish Office at (724) 935-2104.
