The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God’s unconditional forgiveness; as a result we are called to forgive others.

Opportunities to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation are offered weekly:

Before the 5:00 PM Saturday Evening Liturgy at Immaculate Conception Church

Before the 9:00 AM Sunday Liturgy at St. Jude Church

Communal Reconciliation Services are offered during the Liturgical Seasons of Advent and Lent please see the check back for specific dates as the season get closer.

You may also call the parish office at 410-398-1100 to schedule an appointment with one of the priests.

Reconciliation Messages from:

Fr. John Solomon - "Jesus gave us Reconciliation, a way of turning back to Him."

Fr. Richard Jasper - "Jesus heals with His love."
