The Sacrament of Holy Confession

“He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13)

The Great Lenten period is THE TIME for all parishioners to receive the Holy Sacrament of Confession. Fr. Dean or Fr. Nick hear Holy Confession by appointment. Please do not wait until the last minute! If you have never received Holy Confession, now is the time to get right with the Lord. If you need information about how to prepare and receive Holy Confession, please contact Fr. Dean and he will give or send you that information. Confessing of our sins opens the door to our personal celebration of our Lord’s Glorious Resurrection – PLAN NOW and BE PREPARED!!!
