Penance


Picture
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.

In the Cathedral Parish
  •  Children normally receive the Sacrament of Penance in the year following their reception of Confirmation and Eucharist
