The sacrament of reconciliation is uniquely and beautifully Catholic. Christ recognized we are both physical and spiritual beings, and He endowed the Apostles with the Holy Spirit in order to hear and forgive sins in ways that satisfy both body and spirit. This authority passed from Jesus to the Apostles, to the bishops and priests of the ages, and to our priests today.
If it has been a long time since you last confessed your sins, we welcome you back to the freedom and renewal that comes from turning away from the thoughts, words, and actions that separate us from God.
