Reconciliation

This is the Sacrament in which sins committed after Baptism are forgiven. It results in reconciliation with God and the Church. (US Catholic Catechism for Adults, Glossary)

The celebration of God’s love and mercy awaits all Baptized Catholics.  
The confessing of our sins brings us back into the embrace of Jesus. And his Church.   The Church rejoices with us as we are restored to the peace and serenity that comes from this Sacrament.  

Whether we are frequent penitents or if it has been a while since we have considered our sin, Jesus awaits us.
