The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a truly beautiful gift, especially during Advent, as we prepare our hearts to welcome our Savior, Christ our Lord. In this season of hope and expectation, we are invited to “let every heart prepare Him room” by seeking God’s mercy, peace, and healing. Our deanery offers several Advent Penance Services to help us enter more deeply into this sacred preparation, and we encourage you to attend the Penance Service with your Saints Simon and Jude community on December 16 at 7:00pm.

Additional opportunities for confession include:

St. Bonaventure – December 9, 7:00pm

Holy Spirit – December 10, 7:00pm

St. Mary by the Sea – December 15, 7:00pm

St. Joachim – December 17, 7:00pm

St. John the Baptist – December 22, 7:00pm

May these moments of grace help us draw closer to the Lord as Christmas approaches.
