Penance

The Sacrament of Penance (also known as Reconciliation, or Confession) is the Sacrament of God’s mercy, in which we experience the forgiveness of our sins. St Paul tells us that each of us has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). In the Sacrament of Penance, we confess our sins honestly and thoroughly to God, through the ministry of an ordained priest. Times for the Sacrament of Penance can be found on the Liturgy Times tab above.

Catholic children in Year 3 and older are invited to prepare for their first Reconciliation through our parish Sacramental program.
