Pennance Services Today

This morning Fr. Vogel led a pennance service for the students in our school. This evening there will be another service for those in our Religious Formation classes.

Among those helping with both are Fr. Gary Welsh, one of our former associate pastors.

One of the expectations of all members of our parish is to "Receive the forgiveness of God through Reconciliation at least once a year." In addition to our normal schedule for Reconciliation, our Lenten Pennance Service is next week on Thursday, March 22nd at 7 p.m. in the church.

Father Garry improving

Fr Garry Welsh, who had been an Associate Pastor at St. Columbkille a few years ago, escaped from his rectory which was in flames on April 2nd. After almost two weeks in the hospital, he is "taking it one day at a time." He is in our prayers. See the link for more information:
