Sacrament of Reconcilication

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated at Saint Thomas the Apostle each Saturday in February 3:30 – 4:00 pm (Christ the King Saturdays in March) in the reconciliation room in the northwest corner of the church. Penitents may choose to celebrate face-to-face or behind a screen. If you are unfamiliar with how to celebrate the Sacrament, don’t worry; the priest will be happy to guide you. To prepare for the Sacrament, we encourage you to thoroughly examine your conscience.
