Why go to Confession‪?‬

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is known by many names but has one purpose: the forgiveness of sins. Some Christians question its necessity; others get anxious at the mere thought of revealing their sins to another. This booklet aims to soothe these anxieties by explaining the purpose of the sacrament, how it works, and why it is so useful to us. It tackles some of the common objections and helps the penitent to prepare in the most meaningful way, through an examination of conscience.

Receiving forgiveness in this sacrament is a real and tangible way to experience God's power and love.
