Those who go to Confession receive the forgiveness of their sins and are reconciled with God. We all have a built-in navigation system called our conscience. Your conscience is that part of you that knows the difference between good and evil.

To prepare to receive this sacrament you need to examine your conscience. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops provides helpful resources for doing this.

At Saint Bede the Venerable Church, the Sacrament of Reconciliation is available on Saturdays, from 4 pm to 5 pm. Other times are by appointment through calling the Parish Office at 215-357-5720.
