The Sacrament of Reconciliation

This sacrament is often referred to as the Sacrament of Penance or Confession. 

This sacrament restores our relationship with God and other people, relationships that are broken by sin. Reconciliation designates that precise effect of Christ's redemption of the human race that restores our relationship with God and human fellowship. Christ breaks down the barriers that sin raises between us and God, and within the human community.

Our conversion from sin and reception of divine mercy are continually renewed by our reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Serious sin separates us from the body of the church, and sacramental Penance reconciles us with God and the community of his people.

At Our Lady of Grace Parish the Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated on the first and third Tuesday of the month from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. or until finished.
