Let's get Closer to God
Prayer, the lifting of the mind and heart to God, plays an essential role in the life of a devout Catholic. Without a life of prayer, we risk losing the life of grace in our souls, grace that comes to us first in baptism and later chiefly through the other sacraments and through prayer itself. Read more…

Confession is a sacrament instituted by Jesus Christ in his love and mercy.
