This sacrament is a sign and experience of God’s unconditional forgiveness. We are called to be one people united with Christ and one another.
Reconciliation is a sacrament which can be celebrated repeatedly throughout one’s life and indeed Catholics are encouraged to receive this sacrament frequently. They are obliged to receive this sacrament at least once a year.
Reconciliation is offered in two ways in the parish:
First Rite
A one-to-one interaction with the priest.
St Cecilia’s Wyong – Saturday 8.30am (5pm DST)
St John Fisher Tumbi – On request
Second Rite
A communal ceremony which also includes a brief one-to-one interaction with the priest as sins are confessed and absolved. These ceremonies are held before Christmas and Easter.
