7:00 PM Sunday, April 5, 2020

At Saint John's, we host Communal Reconciliation Services periodically throughout the year, most often during the Advent and Lenten Seasons.

Individual Confessions take place in the Church at 3:30 pm on Saturdays, 7:30 a.m. the days we have 8 a.m. Mass, or anytime by appointment.

We encourage you to download an Examination of Conscience found at the bottom of this page.

In faithfully observing the centuries-old practice of the Sacrament of Penance - the practice of individual confession with a personal act of sorrow and the intention to amend and make satisfaction - the Church is therefore defending the human soul's individual right: man's right to a more personal encounter with the crucified forgiving Christ, with Christ saying through the minister of the sacrament of Reconciliation: "Your sins are forgiven" (Mk 2:5); "Go, and do not sin again" (Jn 8:11). As is evident, this is also a right on Christ's part with regard to every human being redeemed by him: his right to meet each one of us in that key moment in the soul's life constituted by the moment of conversion and forgiveness.    - Pope John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis Redeemer of Man)
