Penance is a sacrament of the New Law instituted by Christ in which forgiveness of sins committed after baptism is granted through the priest's absolution to those who with true sorrow confess their sins and promise to satisfy for the same.

Confessions are heard each Saturday at 11:00 a.m.

Children receive this sacrament when they are ready - usually during Lent of their second grade year. Their parents attend several formation sessions since they are the primary catechists of their children. Our Catholic schools and faith formation programs assist them in this task.
