Reconciliation

The sacrament of Reconciliation is also known as Penance and Confession. In this sacrament, the priest, as the agent of God, forgives sins committed after Baptism, when the sinner is heartily sorry for them, sincerely confesses them, and is willing to make satisfaction for them. By his death on the Cross, Jesus Christ redeemed man from sin and from the consequences of his sin, especially from the eternal death that is sin's due. On the very day he rose from the dead, Jesus instituted this sacrament by which men's sins could be forgiven.

At Holy Cross, Reconciliation is celebrated Fridays after the 9:00 am Mass in church or by appointment with Father Michael (732.842.0348 x. 208). Please refer to the bulletin for additional reconciliation times during the Christmas and Easter seasons.

If you are a parent of a child looking to make their First Reconciliation, please contact Sallie Kabash, Director of Religious Education, at 732.842.0348 x. 218 for more information.
