Sacraments

Sacrament of Reconciliation
The Catholic Tradition holds at its core the celebration of God's forgiveness. The Sacrament of Reconciliation celebrates the reality that God loves us and never stops loving us. In fact we believe that God loves us when we are in sin just as much as when we are out of sin. The Sacrament of Reconcilation is celebrated on Mondays from 6:30 to 7:30 PM and Thursdays from 11:00 to 11:45 AM when classes are in session.  The sacrament is also available anytime by appointment. Call EXT 5890 or stop by the Office of Campus Ministry anytime during the day. All of the Holy Cross priests on campus are likewise available for private confession.

"The Lord forgives our sins, heals us when we are sick, and protects us from death. His kindness and love are a crown on our heads." ~Psalm 103
