SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION


Reconciliation celebrates and reminds us of God’s mercy and helps us to experience divine forgiveness, to forgive ourselves and to become reconciled with others.

  • Jesus called for conversion and forgave those who were repentant.
  • We are called to conversion, we ask for forgiveness, and we forgive others.
  • We know that forgiveness and reconciliation are always possible with God’s help.


Before celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation, one should prepare themselves with an examination of conscience.  An examination of conscience is a prayerful self-reflection on our words, thoughts, and actions in the light of the Gospel to determine how we may have sinned against God and one another.

At St. Mary Magdalene, the Sacrament of Reconciliation is available Saturdays from 10:30am – 12:30pm or by appointment.  Please contact the Parish Office to schedule an appointment by calling 919-657-4800 or via email at info@stmm.net.
