There will be a Lenten Penance Service on
Tuesday, April 1st at 6:00 p.m.
There will be no general absolution.
The priests will be available for individual
confession.
In order to better prepare ourselves, we offer
these questions for reflection and examination of
conscience:
- Have I damaged someone’s reputation
through malicious speech or gossip? - Is God of primary importance to me or do I
seek other things more than God, such as
money, success, power or other worldly
things? - Do I make time to pray each day? Do I
participate in the Liturgy on Sundays? - Do I strive to share the good news of Jesus
by the way I live and interact with others? If
not, what do I allow to get in the way? - Do I treat people with the respect they
deserve as children of God? - Do I give of my time, treasure and talent to
help the community, especially those less
fortunate? - Do I own my possessions or do my
possessions own me? - Do I respect my body or do I abuse it
through improper use of drugs, alcohol, sex
or inattention to the requirements of good
health? - Do I speak out when the rights of others are
abused or do I stand by silently?
