The Sacrament of Reconciliation

Taking part in the Sacrament of Reconciliation (or Penance) has been commonly known as “going to confession”.  In the last number of years this sacrament has developed to allow for individual confession and forgiveness in a group context. This is always a reflective and moving service and is easy to participate in.  In the Sacrament of Reconciliation we experience the love of God reaching out to us, enabling us to be better people, kinder, more loving and more fully alive.  We experience the love of God, who is full of compassion and rich in mercy.
