"And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, 'Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.'" John 20:22-23; also see Mt 16:18-19

“Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God’s mercy for the offense committed against him, and are, at the same time reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and which by charity, by example, and by prayer labors for their conversion.” Catechism of the Catholic Church #1422  Find more here…

ALL who seek this sacrament must be Baptized Catholic, or make a Profession of Faith, and then be properly prepared.

As a Catholic youth or adult, this informal preparation is as easy as making a good Examination of Conscience.  Regular Confessions are Saturdays 3:00-4:00 PM; 1st Tuesdays 6:00-6:45PM; or by appointment.
