Saint Joseph Catholic Church Sacrament of Confession held in the Confessionals in our Church.
“The Father has shown forth his mercy by reconciling the world to himself in Christ and by making peace for all things on earth and in heaven by the blood of Christ on the cross (cf. 2 Cor 5:18ff; Col 1:20). The Son of God made man lived among men in order to free them from the slavery of sin (cf. Jn 8:34-36) and to call them out of darkness into his wonderful light (cf. 1 Pt 2:9). He therefore began his work on earth by preaching repentance and saying: “Turn away from sin and believe the good news” (Mk 1:15). This invitation to repentance, which had often been sounded by the prophets, prepared the hearts of men for the coming of the Kingdom of God through the voice of John the Baptism who came “preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins” (Mk 1:4). Jesus, however, not only exhorted men to repentance so that they should abandon their sins and turn wholeheartedly to the Lord (cf. Lk 15), but he also welcomed sinners and reconciled them with the Father (cf. Lk 5:20, 27-32; 7:48). Moreover, by healing the sick he signified his power to forgive sin (Mt 9:2-8). Finally, he himself died for our sins and rose again for our justification (cf. Rom 4:25). Therefore, on the night he was betrayed and began his saving passion, he instituted the sacrifice of the new covenant in his blood for the forgiveness of sins (cf. Mt 26:28).” (The Rite of Penance, 1)
