Advent Parish Penance Service

The Advent Parish Penance Service will be held at 7:30 p.m. Priests from around the diocese will be available along with Father Pat to hear confessions.

Father Pat, Father Ray, and other priests from the diocese will preside over the sacrament of Penance. An examination of concience, hymns and the liturgy of the Word will precede the sacrament. Join the community in its celebration of the sacrament of Penance.

If you would like to participate in the Sacrament of Penance before Christmas, St. Catherine of Siena offers the sacrament every Saturday from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. (not on Christmas Eve) and on Tuesdays, 6 -6:45 p.m. in the Choir Room. Many Catholics are returning to this sacrament after many years away from it, finding spiritual peace and a closer connection to the Lord.
