Reconciliation
-
-
God's love made visible through His forgiveness.
Because of Christ’s great sacrifice on the cross, in the Sacrament of Reconciliation we have the opportunity to confess our sin, receive forgiveness, and receive special graces to avoid sin in the future. In finding God’s unconditional forgiveness, we are then called to forgive others. Incarnate Word’s priests are available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation at these times:
-
- Sunday: 9:45 AM to 10:30 AM
- Saturday: 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM
Confession is also available by appointment or see the Archdiocese list of available confession times in the area by clicking https://www.archstl.org/join-us/mass-times/ -
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9
