Penance

The Sacrament of Penance is often referred to as Reconciliation or even Confession. These titles are all aspects of the meaning of the Sacrament.

The Sacrament of Penance is a celebration of God’s love and mercy. Its focus is the call to repentance after the person has undergone a conversion or change of heart.

The sacramental process includes confessing our sins and receiving the forgiveness of God through the ministry of the priest. Through this process, a person is reconciled with the Church and continues to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
