A Message from our Coordinator of Religious Education…

Repent! This is what John the Baptist is asking, or actually shouting in this week’s Gospel. Repent and acknowledge your sins and  live as such to demonstrate genuine repentance. John  is preparing hearts for “the One” so they could receive the salvation of sin offered by the Messiah. 

 Today, we go to Confession for repentance. We go to admit we have sinned and are truly sorry for them. But not just in word and feelings but a change of direction. By examining your conscience, you can decide which sinful practices you want to eliminate and then begin to amend your lives.  

 This Tuesday, we  invite all of you  to  join us  for our annual Advent Penance Service. This  is open  to all who want  to refocus on God’s presence  in our  lives. Consider making  time  for prayer,  together.  The  Sacrament of Reconciliation brings peace to our hearts and clears all the distractions. It opens our hearts to receive God’s grace. Please join us.
