Advent has a two-fold character: as a season to prepare for Christmas when Christ’s first coming to us is remembered, and as a season when that remembrance directs our minds and hearts to await Christ’s second coming at the end of time. Advent thus is a season of devout and joyful expectation.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation gives us a chance to take time out to experience Christ’s presence in this sacrament.

Priests will be available to hear individual confessions.
