Holy Tuesday – Reconciliation of Penitents (Confession) – By Appointment
April 4, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
On Holy Tuesday, April 4, you are invited to the Reconciliation of Penitents. Reconciliation is a sacramental rite in which those who repent may confess their sins to God in the presence of a priest and receive the assurance of pardon and the grace of absolution (BCP, p. 861). It is also sometimes called penance and confession. We have a two-hour window blocked out from 5 – 7 p.m. for parishioners to schedule a time with one of our priests, please email Fr. Skip Walker to schedule your Reconciliation. With regard to the sacramental rite of Reconciliation, it is often said that “All may, none must.”
If this is new and intimidating, you might even email Skip just to talk about the basis of this rite. The secrecy of the confession is morally absolute for the confessor and must not be broken (BCP, p. 446).
The church’s ministry of reconciliation is from God, “who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Cor 5:18).
