The Mercy That Prepares Us for the Mercy of the Eucharist.

The Sacrament of Penance is an integral part of the National Eucharistic Revival.  As a witness of solidarity among our parishes,  Bishop Salvatore Matano has designated Thursday, February 22, 2024, the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, to whom Jesus Christ gave the keys of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 16:19).  The following parishes will offer extended opportunities for the Sacrament of Penance on or near that date.
