During Lent and Advent, St. Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Church offers the opportunity for you to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation in what is known as “Form Two.” If it is has been a long time since you have received this sacrament, there is no need to be nervous!

In Form Two, we participate in the examination of conscience together as a community. We then make our confession and receive our penance and absolution one-on-one with a priest. You don’t need to memorize any words to receive Christ’s healing gift, though you are welcome to use the prayers set forth by the Church if that makes you more comfortable. Most importantly, remember that this is a sacrament of healing – it is not to cause shame, but to help you openly receive God’s sacramental grace.
