This is the year to fulfill your Easter duty as a practicing Catholic! Make plans to attend the Parish Penance Service
Tuesday, March 3 at 7:30 pm. Put dinner in the slow-cooker, get the kids homework done early, tell the sports coach you're family won't be there that evening, leave work on time and pray the traffic is easy. Check off your resolution to receive this grace-giving sacrament!
An adult prepares for this sacrament by examining every facet and role of life, asking God to reveal where they can be lived with greater charity, insight and touched by the grace of God. Perhaps journal about these areas of life with the guidance of an
examination of conscience.
During Lent, the bishops and priests urge us to take advantage of this Sacrament of Healing. This scheduled Penance Service welcomes numerous priests from the diocese to hear confessions after a brief service.
