The Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession is celebrated frequently in Saint John the Evangelist Parish. This is a private, one-to-one Sacrament celebrated by the priest. It is recommended that you try to avail yourself to this great and joyful Sacrament on a regular basis.

In our two Catholic Primary Schools of Saint John's and Saint Mark's, preparation for the Sacrament of Confession takes place in Primary 4 during Religious Education.

In accordance with the precepts of the Church you must go to confession and receive communion at least once a year, preferably around Holy Week/Eastertide. This is commonly referred to as one's Easter duty.

However, all Catholics should go to confession if they are in a state of mortal sin as soon as possible and as often as necessary. You should not receive Holy Communion if you are in the state of mortal sin.

Times for Confessions at Saint John the Evalgelist are as follows:

Every Saturday

• After 10:00am Mass
• Between 4:00pm-4:25pm
• After the Vigil Mass
