The Sacrament of Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation restores our relationship with God and is a great source of grace. Catholics are encouraged to take advantage of this Sacrament often, even if they are not aware of having committed a mortal sin. Sadly, many have a fearful view on this beautiful and powerful Sacrament; we must remember: this Holy Sacrament is far more about the great mercy and grace of our Heavenly Father than it ever is about our sins and weaknesses!
At Epiphany of the Lord Parish, the Sacrament of Reconciliation is available:
8:00-8:20 am Prior to Thursday & Friday Morning Mass at our Genesee St. campus
5:00-5:45 pm Prior to Wednesday Evening Mass at our White St. campus
3:00-3:45 pm Prior to Saturday Vigil Mass at our White St. campus
8:30-9:15 am Prior to Sunday Morning Mass at our Genesee St. campus
By Appointment is always welcome: You may also call the Parish Office at 419-698-1519 to schedule an appointment with one of the priests, in order to celebrate the Holy Sacrament. Don’t let fear keep you away from this profound Sacrament of God’s grace!
