Did you know that the Catholic Church has 7 sacraments? One of those sacraments is called reconciliation. It is more commonly known as confession. In this sacrament a person confesses his sins to a priest. The priest gives the person a penance and prays the words of absolution. Catholics believe that confession is necessary for all mortal sins committed after baptism. A Catholic who does not believe this is like an American citizen who does not believe that Texas is a state. You might not like that it is a state; you may not want to admit it; but no amount of wishful thinking will change the fact that Texas is one of the 50 states. You may not like confession; you may not think that it is necessary to go to confession. However, no amount of wishful thinking will change the fact confession is the necessary and normal way for a person to receive the forgiveness of sins.
St. Patrick Catholic Church offers the Sacrament of Confession 30 minutes before each weekday mass and from 4:30 to 5:30 every Saturday.
