About this sacrament
Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession / Penance) restores baptismal grace when we have fallen through sin. Priests at Mater Misericordiae hear confessions at scheduled times and by appointment, offering counsel and absolution in the name of Christ.
When it is celebrated
Saturdays 3:30–4:30 PM; First Friday after 6:30 AM Mass; weekdays by appointment with a priest.
