The Church Fathers sometimes called this sacrament “the more difficult baptism.” St. Ambrose drew a parallel between reconciliation and baptism: “there are water and tears: the water of Baptism and the tears of repentance.” The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated on Saturdays, 4:00-5:00 in the Reconciliation Chapel, located in the south vestibule of the Church. Communal celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation are celebrated in preparation for Christmas and Easter.
