Saint James Cathedral

Sacrament of Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (commonly called “confession”) is a rite that is most often experienced by appointment with Cathedral clergy. It always occurs in the context of pastoral conversation, and follows the forms described in the Book of Common Prayer (see “Reconciliation of a Penitent”, page 447).

The purpose of this rite is to experience, in a concrete way, a sense of reconciliation between God and all people. If you have questions about this rite, or wish to make an appointment, please contact one of the Cathedral clergy.
