Lenten Penance Service, Tuesday, February 24, 5:30 p.m.

Saint Matthew will be hosting a special Lenten Penance Service on Tuesday, Feb. 24, beginning at 5:30 p.m. We have seven priests scheduled to be at Saint Matthew on Tuesday. Please take the time to stop by and prepare your soul during this period of repentance leading up to Easter.

If you cannot make the service, Saint Matthew has the Sacrament of Penance available every Wednesday evening from 6-6:50 p.m. and on Saturdays from 4-4:45 p.m.

You can find other penance services around around the diocese here.

Before celebrating the Sacrament of Penance, one should prepare oneself with an examination of conscience, which involves reflecting prayerfully on one’s thoughts, words, and deeds in order to identify any sins. The USCCB has a variety of Examination of Conscious to help you prepare for the sacrament in your current stage of life. You can find those here.
