Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Confession or Penance) is

one of the two healing Sacraments.

Reconciliation at our parish is held every Saturday from 2:30-3:45 pm.

If you require a longer session with a priest or counseling, we suggest contacting the Parish Office at 702-361-3022 to arrange a separate appointment. Our priests are dedicated to providing support and guidance during these meetings.

During the seasons of Advent and Lent, special days and evenings are designated for communal preparation and individual celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation with our priests and visiting clergy. Advance notice of these events will be announced and published for the convenience of parishioners.

We encourage all members of our parish community to take advantage of these opportunities for spiritual growth and reflection.

Not only does it free us from our sins but it also challenges us to have the same kind of compassion and forgiveness for those who sin against us. We are liberated to be forgivers. We obtain new insight into the words of the Prayer of St. Francis: "It is in pardoning that we are pardoned." Jesus entrusted the ministry of reconciliation to the Church. The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven. In confession, we have the opportunity to repent and recover the grace of friendship with God. It is a holy moment in which we place ourselves in his presence and honestly acknowledge our sins, especially mortal sins. With absolution, we are reconciled to God and the Church. The Sacrament helps us stay close to the truth that we cannot live without God. "In him, we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28)
