“WELCOME HOME TO HEALING”

This Lenten season, each Catholic parish in the Diocese of Paterson will have Confession available every Monday in March 7:00 pm–8:30 pm. If you have been reluctant to come to the Sacrament, have been away for some time or just found it difficult to get to a Saturday afternoon Confession time, this is a wonderful opportunity to re-connect with Christ and His Church. Don’t be afraid! Information will be provided. Ask the priest to help you. Experience the gracious mercy of God! www.WelcomeHomeToHealing.org.
