Overview

We will celebrate as a parish community God’s mercy and forgiveness. Several priests will be available for the individual celebration of the sacrament of reconciliation in preparation for Easter.

“I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

(Luke 15:10)
