Penance (commonly called Confession or Reconciliation) is a sacrament of the Church in which the faithful obtain divine mercy for the sins committed against God and neighbor, and are reconciled with the community and the Church.

Confession is offered on Saturday's at St. Francis Xavier Church at 4:00pm or by appoinment. If you would like to make an appointment for confession, or to sign your child up for religious education in preparation for this sacrament, please call the rectory at 845-252-6681.
