The Sacrament of Reconciliation contains three elements; conversion, confession, and celebration. It is this sacrament that changes us, challenges us, and equips us as disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ to reach out to others and to transform the world.
Through conversion we acknowledge our weaknesses and failings which lead us to a change of heart, mind, and will, allowing us to take responsibility for our actions.
Confession brings us into intimate contact with Jesus, where we are liberated from the sins that trouble our hearts and minds so that we can be a living fountain of forgiveness and mercy to others.
In celebration we leave the sacrament with a renewed sense of wholeness and intimacy with God, having experienced the gift of His unconditional forgiveness and mercy.
If you, or someone you know desires to complete their sacraments please encourage them to join our ongoing “no obligation” inquiry group. For more information about the RCIA process please contact Susan Olsen, at
