This Thursday (March 8) at 6 p.m. in the church, we will gather for a communal Penance Service that will consist of a brief Liturgy of the Word and a corporate examination of conscience and prayer of contrition, followed by individual confessions. A few priests will be present with us that evening so that you will be able to have some choice in who hears your confession. All those who are preparing for First Communion are asked to join us at this service so that you can celebrate the Sacrament of Penance for the first time on Thursday night.
