Reconciliation (or Confession as it’s sometimes called) is an opportunity to meet with a priest to talk about what sins are preventing us from having a good relationship with God and other people in our lives. We can meet with the priest either face to face or from behind a screen. We usually begin by letting the priest know how long it has been since we “confessed” last and then tell him about those sins or sinful tendencies that are causing problems in our lives. The priest will then ask us to do a penance (usually in the form of a prayer) and then will say the words of absolution so that we can know that our sins are forgiven.

The Reconciliation Room at St. Joseph Chuch is located at the back of the church. At Mary Queen of Peace Church, the room is at the back of the foyer. When the door of either Reconciliation Room is open, the priest is available. Please close the door on entering, and leave it open upon finishing. Reconciliation is also available by appointment. Please call the office 603-893-8661.
