The Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as Penance and Confession, is the sacrament that gives us the privilege of experiencing re-unity and peace with God, others, and ourselves. This sacrament of conversion offers us the opportunity for freedom from sin and guilt so that we may more fully live out our baptismal promises in the image and likeness of God.
