Reconciliation
Do Not Be Afraid
Don't be afraid. Going to Confession is a blessing. It is a gift from God.
1 John 1:9
"If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing."
God promises to forgive us, if we have a contrite heart.
And if you are afraid because you haven't been in a while, we can help.

Before going to Confession, you should do an Examination of Conscience. Not sure what that is?
