A Missionary of Mercy at Confession Saturday

On Ash Wednesday Pope Francis commissioned more than 1,000 priests who were sent out around the world as ambassadors of mercy.

Pope Francis has called the Missionaries of Mercy to be “signs of this mercy of the Lord,”and the first aspect of this call is to be very available in bringing about that reconciliation of God through the sacred ministry of Confession.

“The second main thrust of this year is for the Missionaries of Mercy to preach about mercy” much like Christ did in his parables of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin and the Prodigal Son.

Monsignor Ted Bertagni, one of these missionaries of mercy, will be hearing confessions at St. Columbkille from 3:30 to 4:30 on Saturday.
