Advent Penance Service

Advent Penance Services December 11 at 6:30 PM An Opportunity to Receive God’s Forgiveness and Prepare for the Coming of Christ In the season of Advent, we prepare our hearts and minds as we await the coming of the Messiah. It is a time when we renew our desire for His return in the second coming and prepare to celebrate the memorial of His birth at Christmas. During Advent, the Church invites us to pray, reflect and receive the sacraments to properly prepare our minds and hearts for the joyous celebration of Christmas. In the penitential aspect of this season of preparation, we are called to repent and convert so as to make room for Christ.
