CONFESSION
THE SACRAMENT CONFESSION
CONFESSION
Confession is the sacrament in which sins committed after Baptism are forgiven. It results in reconciliation with God and the Church. (US Catholic Catechism for Adults, Glossary)
BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOUR LAST CONFESSION?
Welcome back! You can come to confession at any time. If you haven't made your confession in a while, just tell the priest how long it's been and he'll talk you through the process. If you are still nervous about it, make an appointment with one of our priests so they can walk you through it and give you more advice and counsel. Call the Rectory Office 605-342-0507 and we'll get you in touch with one of our priests.
Confessionals are located in the entryway of the Cathedral next to the stairwells on both sides of the main entrance.
FIRST CONFESSION FOR CHILDREN
First Communion and first confession preparation at the Cathedral is based upon child readiness.
Students and parents can petition the Church for reception of the sacraments once a child turns 7 years of age. Readiness is evaluated by the formation team. Preparation takes place on Wednesday at Cathedral's formation program, Faith on Fire, for 12 weeks.
Submit the Sacramental Preparation Candidate Form here.
