Tri-Parish Reconciliation Service
UPCOMING EVENTS
Our three parishes on the Long Beach Island are sponsoring a Reconciliation Service on
Tuesday, March 1, 2016 at 7:30 pm. This will include a brief prayer service, a homily,
and the opportunity for individual Confession. It will be held at St. Mary of the Isle Church.
When was the last time you went to Confession? Has it been several years? Not to worry,
God’s grace is abundant in this Year of Mercy. Do you think you have been so bad that you
can’t be forgiven? St. Paul reassures us that where sin has abounded, grace abounds even
more. Yes, the power of God’s love is greater than the power of evil and that love is available
to you. Come and experience the grace of the Sacrament and the peace of Jesus Christ so
you can grow in love.
This is a unique opportunity for the parishioners of Our Lady “DO NOT BE AFRAID
of the Miraculous Medal, St. Mary’s and St. Ignatius to join
OF CONFESSION.”
together in prayer and to experience God’s love in this Year Pope Francis
of Mercy. In addition to the priests of these parishes, there
will be other priests available for Confession including
Spanish speaking. Let God’s graces flow! Let God’s love
wash over you!

Servicio de Reconciliación de las Tres Parroquias
Nuestras tres parroquias en la Isla de Long Beach ofrecerán un Servicio de Reconciliación el
Martes, 1ero de marzo, 2016 a las 7:30 pm. Esto incluirá un breve servicio de oración,
una homilía, y la oportunidad para la confesión individual. Se llevará a cabo en la Iglesia Santa
María de la Isla.
ESPAÑOL
¿Cuándo fue la última vez que usted se Confesó? ¿Han pasado varios años? No hay que
preocuparse, la gracia de Dios es abundante en este Año de la Misericordia. ¿Usted cree haber
sido tan malo que no puede ser perdonado? San Pablo nos asegura que cuando el pecado
abundó, la gracia abunda aún más. Así es, el poder del amor de Dios es mayor que el poder
del mal y el amor está disponible para usted. Venga y experimente la gracia del Sacramento y
la paz de Jesucristo para que pueda crecer en el amor.
Esta es una oportunidad única para que los feligreses de Nuestra
Señora de la Medalla Milagrosa, Santa María y San Ignacio se
unan en la oración y experimenten el amor de Dios en este Año
de la Misericordia. Además de los sacerdotes de estas
parroquias, habrá otros sacerdotes disponibles para la confesión,
incluyendo de habla española. ¡Deje que la gracia de Dios fluya!
¡Deje que el amor de Dios lo limpie!
