In the time of Lent we ponder our sins and express to God our profound repentance of the wrong we have done. God desires to forgive us, and to reconcile ourselves to Him and His Church. We are inviting everyone to Penitential service Friday 11th at 7pm-9pm when we will have number of priests available for confessions; it is a blessed time and great chance to make peace with God!
