You are invited to a citywide celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Wednesday, December 21 at 6:30 p.m. The prayer service will include individual confession with several priests from around the area. Please take advantage of this opportunity as part of your spiritual preparation for Christmas.
Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps communities care for their aging members and reflects thanks for their devoted service. Please give to those who have given a lifetime by donating this weekend. More information can be found on the bulletin insert, and collection envelopes will be available in the back of the church. Online donations can be made at retiredreligious.org.
By examining our conscience, we respond to God’s Word – looking at our own lives, searching our hearts, and asking God’s forgiveness. All are invited to attend a Communal Reconciliation Service at St. Columbkille on Sunday at 4 p.m.
One of the most effective means to wake from spiritual sleep and to don the armor of light is to come to confession. Next Saturday St Raphael Cathedral will have 5 priests on hand at 11 am to serve as channels of God’s grace and mercy. Been a long time? Why extend the gap any longer? Don’t know what sins to confess? Talk to your spouse, co-workers, or friends. The liturgy will include music, scripture, prayer, and time to reflect, lasting no more than an hour. Bring a Bible or spiritual reading and give Jesus some of your precious time and open your hearts to listen to him, speaking words of love and peace.
