March 2022 General Absolution
Due to the continuing pandemic, the permission to use General Absolution is still
in effect. We offered such penance services last Lent & this past Advent & they were well attended. As a reminder, General Absolution is truly the Sacrament of Reconciliation without actually confessing one's sins to a priest. The community of faith gathers to hear the Word of God & reflect on it. We pray together the Lord's Prayer & an Act of Contrition, followed by a penance given & the prayer of absolution prayed over the people.
To participate in such a service would be a wonderful way to prepare for Easter. This Lent, General Absolution services will be held in the Cluster:
Thursday, March 24, 7 pm at St Joseph,
State Center
Thursday March 31, 7pm at St. Patrick, Nevada
I hope to see you at one of these penance services!
