What is Reconciliation?
The Christian is brought into profound relationship with God and with his/her brothers and sisters in the Church through the sacraments of initiation. This relationship is harmed or even broken through sin. Through the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, the sinner approaches God and the Church, acknowledging and confessing sins, expressing regret and sorrow for them and receiving forgiveness through the mercy of God at the hands of a priest.

Confessions are available Saturday at 3:00 pm at St. Joseph Church during February, April, June, August, October, and December. For St. Michael Church, confessions will be held at 3:00 pm during January, March, May, July, September, and November. For St. Mary Church, confessions will be heald at 5:00pm on Saturdays. They also can be made by an appointment.

Please call the parish for more information.

Act of Contrition for Children
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, And to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy. Amen
​
Traditional Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend You, My God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
