Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a privileged opportunity to experience the Lord’s merciful love. By confessing our sins with true sorrow and accepting penance, we are able to receive what only the Lord can give us: forgiveness, healing and refreshment for our souls, and special strength in order to become better people and more faithful Christians.

All Catholics are encouraged to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation as frequently as necessary, in order to worthily and fruitfully partake of the Holy Eucharist, and to be at peace with God, with ourselves and with one another.

The Oratorian priests who serve at St. Peter’s place the highest importance on the Sacrament of Reconciliation, as did our founder, St. Philip Neri. We seek to imitate his ministry of mercy, using the encounter in confession as an opportunity to challenge and encourage the members of Christ’s body to follow Him more closely.
