Advent is a season of preparation and reflection as we anticipate the birth of Christ. One beautiful way to prepare our hearts during this holy season is by participating in a Penance Service. This special service invites us to experience the healing power of God's love and mercy through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. During the Penance Service, we gather as a community to reflect on our relationship with God and others. Through prayer, scripture, and examination of conscience, we prepare ourselves to receive the grace of forgiveness. Several priests will be available to hear confessions, offering us an opportunity to repent, renew, and draw closer to Christ. Come and experience the peace and joy that reconciliation brings, as we prepare our hearts to welcome Jesus this Christmas.
