Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from the mercy of God for the offence committed against Him and are at the same time reconciled with the Church, which they have wounded by their sins, and which by charity, example, and prayer seeks their conversion. (Lumen Gentium, paragraph 11)
The Sacrament of Penance is available each Saturday in the Basilica between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm, or available by appointment by contacting the Basilica office.
