Sacrament of Reconciliation

• Saturday 4:00-4:45pm
• Other times by appointment only
• According to Jesus we all need conversion, even the so-called just. What is important in conversion is what happens deep in our heart. Therefore conversion, or penance, is an ongoing constant task for the baptized Christian. The first step in the sacrament of penance is our acceptance that we have sinned and that we are truly sorry for what we have done. Then we go to the priest in confession, and receive absolution, we celebrate with him our return to full communion with the Church.
  1 Jn 1:8 Mk 1:15 Mt 18:3 Jn 20: 22-23

Eucharistic Adoration

• Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is on Monday evenings from 6:30pm to 8:30pm concluding with Evening Prayer and Benediction.
  
• At the last supper Jesus instituted this sacrament and commanded His new Church, the Apostles, to "…do this remembrance of me." It is through the Eucharist that come together as the Body of Christ on earth. Eucharist is the third and final sacrament of initiation. Eucharist is the real presence of Jesus in the form of bread and wine.
