This sacrament allows individuals to start anew and strengthen their relationship with God and the community.

Our dedicated team of clergy, catechists, and volunteers guide candidates through the process of self-reflection, examination of conscience, and understanding of sin and reconciliation. Through engaging lessons, discussions, and personal reflection, candidates gain a deeper understanding of the sacrament and its significance.
