Ash Wednesday Schedule of Masses: See Mass Schedule on the inside of the first page of this week’s bulletin.
Confessions during Lent: Saturdays from 3:30 – 5:00 PM in the Church. Special Lenten Penance Service on Tuesday, March 21st at 7:00 PM
Stations of the Cross during Lent: Starting the week (except in Spanish which start March 8th), we will have Stations of the Cross in the following languages: Wednesdays (Spanish) 6:30 PM, Thursdays (Portuguese) 7:00 PM, and Fridays (English) 5:15 PM
First Penance: Please pray for our children who made their first confessions this past week. It was a beautiful experience of the Love and Mercy of Jesus for each of them. Also may, it be a reminder for all of us to make a good confession this Lent and our own need for frequent reception of this Sacrament.
