Sacrament of Reconciliation

The Lord is kind and full of compassion, slow to anger, abounding in love — Psalm 145:8

  • The Sacrament of Penance is one of two sacraments of healing (the other being the Anointing of the Sick). Penance is a sacrament of forgiveness and celebrates God’s love and mercy towards us. It is about acknowledging and naming those times when we know we have done wrong, and then making peace and restoring the relationships with those who have been affected by our poor choices.
  • The Sacrament of Penance is celebrated through the Rites of Reconciliation.
  • Parish Reconciliation time is 9.00 am Saturday, St Francis Xavier Church.
