This project focused on adults' attitudes toward the Sacrament. A questionnaire was distributed to parents, young adults, and catechists to elicit their understanding of reconciliation in their daily lives and their understanding and attitude toward the Sacrament of Reconciliation. A separate questionnaire was distributed to priests to elicit their experiences of the sacrament with adults and children. The experiences of the adults and catechists revealed that many have not had an updating since their childhood and basically see the sacrament as a time just to confess their wrong doings. For many it was a negative, fear-filled experience. The priests' responses revealed that the new form of the sacrament is not being used and they prefer face to face experiences over and against Form One. Planning an adult education program addressing the elements of reconciliation and its proper celebration was evident.
