Through penance, the faithful receive pardon for the sins they have committed and are reconciled with the Church community.
Every parishioner is encouraged to celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation/Confession regularly and especially in preparation for the two major feasts of the liturgical year — Christmas and Easter. During the liturgical seasons of Advent and Lent (a time of preparation for these feasts) special reconciliation services are scheduled for all parishioners.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered on Fridays between 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm, on Saturdays between 8:30 am and 9:30 am and by appointment (714)971-2141.
