Confession for Christmas
The Penitential Service for the parish
will be held today in St Joseph’s Fincairn
at 6.00pm. There will be 5 or 6 priests present
and will only stay as long as we have people there.
This is a wonderful opportunity to prepare properly
for the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, who
has called us all to repent and believe. The Sacrament
of Confession gives us an opportunity of inner
healing and self confidence. God deals with the
whole person at all times therefore this Sacrament
gives us peace of mind, relaxation in body and
refreshment in soul
