Through Reconciliation we receive God’s forgiveness. Forgiveness requires being sorry for our sins. In Reconciliation we receive Jesus’ healing grace through absolution by the priest. The signs of this sacrament are our confession of sins and the words of absolution.
Our parish offers the Sacrament of Reconciliation every Monday from 5-6 PM, or anytime by appointment. We also celebrate First Penance with our second grade students each year during the season of Advent in preparation for their First Communion.
Penance is an experience of the gift of God's boundless mercy.
Please call the office to set up an appointment at 570-823-7736.
“When faced with the gravity of sin, God responds with the fullness of mercy. Mercy will always be greater than any sin, and no one can place limits on the love of God who is ever ready to forgive.” ---
