“There Is No Better Feeling in The World than Knowing Your Sins Are Forgiven and Left Behind in The Confessional. I Feel so Liberated Each Time I Go to Confession at St. Francis Catholic Church.”
-Ryleigh O’Toole, Parishioner-
Reconciliation
The Lord never tires of forgiving. It is we who tire of asking for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Saint Padre Pio encourages us to regular confession more than twice a year
The peace of mind and soul which this sacrament imparts to us is one for which there is no substitute. It is a peace that flows from a certainty, rather than from an unsure hope, that our sins have been forgiven and that we are right with God. A good Catholic examination of conscience can be great help in making a new start in the life of faith. Make an act of contrition daily.
First Reconciliation is part of the First Communion preparation program.
