Like all of the Sacraments, Confession (also known as Reconciliation or Penance) is a personal encounter with Jesus. In Confession, we are telling our sins to the priest who acts in the person of Christ and with the authority of Jesus to listen, offer guidance, provide a suitable penance, and speak the words of absolution. Jesus gave the power to forgive sins to the apostles when he appeared to them after his resurrection in John’s Gospel.

Do not be afraid if has been some time since your last confession. We are blessed with many great pastors in the New Albany Deanery who will be happy to walk you through the steps of the sacrament. In addition, here are some helpful resources to get you into the confessional and on your way to the abundant grace and healing that only God can provide.
