Families of Faith: Advent Penance service also marks First Reconciliation for children.      Children in our 2nd grade class are preparing to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time on Thursday, December 10 (7pm) during the annual Advent Penance     Service. Please consider lending your support to our young people by planning to participate in this communal service. You need not be a parent or family member to participate—the grace of the sacrament is open to all!
