Penance

There are four steps in the Sacrament of Reconciliation:

1. We feel contrition for our sins and a conversion of heart to change our ways.
2. We confess our sins and human sinfulness to a priest.
3. We receive and accept forgiveness (absolution) and are absolved of our sins.
4. We celebrate God’s everlasting love for us and commit to live out a Christian life.

Reconcillation is held on Monday to Friday: After the 8:00 a.m. Mass in the courtyard

Friday: 5:00-6:00 p.m. in the church*
7:45-8:45 p.m. in the church* (third Friday of the month)

Saturday:    
After the 8:00 a.m. Mass in the courtyard (except the second Saturday)**
4:00-5:00 p.m. in the church*

*   In the church, Fr. John hears confessions in his confessional; and Fr. Dennis hears confessions in the back pew of the church near the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

**   On the second Saturday of every month, the priests will offer the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick in the church after the 8:00 a.m. Mass. Afterward, if there is time, they will hear confessions in the courtyard.

You may call the Pastoral Office, (909) 861-7106, to schedule confession with a priest at another time.
