Communal celebrations of the Sacrament of Penance take place during Advent (December) and Lent (March).

​

The Sacrament of Penance, also known as Confession or Reconciliation, forgives sins and restores a person to the Church. Catholics are obliged to confess their grave sins at least once a year (Code of Canon Law, canon 989). Frequent confession of all sins, including venial or lesser ones, is encouraged (canon 988 §2).

 

Children receive the Sacrament of Penance for the first time in preparation for First Holy Communion (for more information, see “First Holy Communion”).
