Sacrament of Reconciliation

During the Season of Lent, we will set aside some special days and times for you all to see Monsignor Marcaccio for Reconciliation.

If you are seeking Confirmation and Communion in the Catholic Church, this is a requirement before the Easter Vigil.

If you are going to be Baptized at the Easter Vigil, then you do not need to make a Reconciliation beforehand, however I would encourage you to still make an appointment with Monsignor (especially if you are an adult) because it can be helpful to unburden yourself and just talk with him.

If you are returning to the Church after a period of time away, this is a great time for you to take advantage of the grace this Sacrament will provide.

Check back in January/February for dates and times!
