Penitential Service 8.00pm With visiting priests
ADVENT PENANCE SERVICE: As part of our spiritual preparation for Christmas, it is customary for all Roman Catholics to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This gives us an opportunity of making our peace with God for the times we fail him and one another. May I encourage all of our parishioners to make a very special effort to come and receive God’s healing & forgiving grace through Confession.
