Advent Penance Service
Tuesday, December 15
7:00 p.m.
As we prepare for the coming of Christ at Christmas,
we want to be ready to do whatever he asks of us.
In order to do so, the Church encourages the parish
community to come together to hear the Word of
God, to pray, and to sing in a formal liturgy: The Rite
of Penance (Penance Service). Gathered together,
we recognize our individual sinfulness and the harm it
does to our entire community. We pray for one
another as well as for ourselves. Through song,
prayer, and scripture we ready ourselves for the
opportunity for private confession and absolution.
This will be the last chance
to attend reconciliation here before Christmas.
