Sacrament of Penance (Reconciliation)

Please pray for the candidates who are preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Penance next Tuesday afternoon at 4pm- India, Willow, Brendan, Ava, Dion, Morrison, Riane, Indi, Ivy, Savannah and Cedric. 

The school community is invited to join us as we celebrate this special Sacrament with the students, their families and the parish community. 

What is the Sacrament of Penance?

The Sacrament of Penance is one of two sacraments of healing (the other being the Anointing of the Sick). Penance is a sacrament of forgiveness and celebrates God’s love and mercy towards us. It is about acknowledging and naming those times when we know we have done wrong, and then making peace and restoring the relationships with those who have been affected by our poor choices.

The Sacrament of Penance is celebrated through the Rites of Reconciliation. (https://flameoffaith.org.au/penance/)
