Communal Reconciliation Liturgy
On Tuesday of Holy Week, April 6th, our
parish will celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation in
a communal liturgy appropriate to the season of Lent.
The celebration will begin at 7:00 PM in the Church.
We especially hope all those who have been prevented by fear from coming to confession, those away
from the sacraments for a long time, those who have
felt alienated from the Church or the parish, will participate in this celebration of God’s loving mercy. All will
be asked to acknowledge their sinfulness before God
and the gathered community, to seek mercy, and to
receive the Church’s absolution.
Please pray that through this celebration many will
be brought home, released from the burden of sin and
guilt, and begin healing in Christ.
Confessions are also heard every Saturday from
8:45-9
9:30 AM, and on April 3rd from 3:00-4
4:30 PM.
An Italian confessor will be available on April 3rd also
from 3-4
4:30 PM for those who would like to go to
Confession in Italian.
Page Three
As members of the parish faith
community, it is our responsibility to
remember both in concrete and spiritual
ways those who cannot celebrate with
us each week because they are ill.
Those who are sick in turn, remember
all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings. We
experience many blessings because of their remembering
us. And so ... please remember in your prayers:

‘Cause God picks you up as often as you do your child.
