Confessions will be heard on the first Sunday of the month after the 11 am Mass. Our Lord does not keep us guessing about whether or not we are forgiven.

If He were here on earth, wouldn’t you ask Him for forgiveness? If you want to experience the Divine Mercy in a real way, confession is the way to do it!! | 5 | 6 Bible Study
