Catholic Forum: Fr. John Klevence, Reconciliation Monday & the Joy of the Father

On this episode of Catholic Forum Rev. John Klevence, Pastor of St. Ann's in Bethany Beach, DE joins the show to discuss the 5th Annual Reconciliation Monday Penance services taking place across the Diocese of Wilmington on Monday, March 30, 2026. Fr. John talks about the importance of remembering how much God wants us to be close to Him and how important it is for us to not be afraid that our sins are too much for God. He discusses the parable of the Prodigal Son and how delighted the father was to have his son return to him, saying it is the same for us each time we go to confession!
