Communal Reconciliation
Wednesday, March 21, 7:00 pm
Join us for Communal Reconciliation this upcoming Wednesday evening, March 21. In addition to me, there will be three visiting priests here (Fr. Przybilla from St. Charles Borromeo, Fr. Rask from St. Odilia, Fr. Ostrowski from St. William), so you can have your choice of which priest to meet with for your one-on-one Confession. It is a gift to receive this wonderful Sacrament of Reconciliation, so come join us. Maybe you know someone who has not been to Reconciliation in a long time, and you could invite them to come along with you.
