All Day Confessions - March 29
This year’s diocesan Day of Confessions will take place on Wednesday, March 29. The season of Lent is a time to be renewed and to be reconciled with our merciful and loving God. An important part of our Lenten call to personal holiness is the Sacrament of Reconciliation. As Pope Frances reminds us, “Confession is where we encounter Jesus.”
March 29th, 2023
10:00 am - noon St. Mary’s
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Sacred Heart
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm St. Mary’s & Sacred Heart
There will be Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament available in both churches during the time of All Day Confessions and on Fridays from 8:30 am to 9:15 am at St. Mary's.
