Confessions on Friday Evenings after Stations of the Cross in Lent

Don't Neglect Confession During Lent
While we were praying Stations of the Cross on Friday, it occurred to me that it would be a wonderful time to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Several people who had prayed the Stations remained for confession.
We'll continue the practice, so spread the word: Stations of the Cross on Fridays during Lent followed immediately by confessions (at approximately 7:30 PM). We'll use the church's confessional, so that either face-to-face or anonymous confession can be done.
Reflection on the passion of Christ helps us appreciate Jesus' sufferings for us, His gracious mercy, and an acute awareness of our sinfulness. If it's been a while since you experienced Jesus' forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, consider praying with us on Friday.
