Do I Need to Go to Confession?

It’s an age old question; “Why do I have to confess my sins to a priest?” 

Today Fr. Mike encourages and challenges us to see the Sacrament of Reconciliation not as a burden but as a gift from God. Your Heavenly Father wants to reconcile with you and offer you the grace of forgiveness and he does this through the humanity of the ordained priesthood.
