Lent Penance Service

April 10th at 6 p.m. in the Church

The Lenten penance service is a time when the parish community can come together to recognize our own sinfulness, turn back to God in the manner that we live our lives, and seek His forgiveness and mercy.

The Service will include short readings from Scripture on conversion and repentance and a brief reflection on sin and the importance of confessing those sins to the Lord. At the conclusion of that reflection, the priest will also lead the parish in an Examination of Conscience to help those in attendance call to mind those areas of sin in their lives. That is followed by an invitation for individual confessions with a priest.

The season of Lent is the perfect opportunity to allow the Lord to enter into our hearts and lead us to a moment of conversion. In the remaining days before Easter, consider attending a penance service at one of our local parishes. Utilize this opportunity to enter more deeply into relationship with Jesus. He will be waiting for you.
