Forgiveness Reflection
Thank you to all who gathered with us for the Forgiveness Series by Deacon Robert McDonald. I hope that this video series, the discussions and reflection, was helpful to all who participated. May you have a happy and grace-filled Holy Week as we prepare to celebrate the Paschal Mystery of our Faith – the suffering, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ – leading us to that new life that God’s forgiveness permits us to have.
Lenten Reflection at Holy Cross Church
This week we will gather at 3:00 pm on Thursday, March 30 and pray a Way of the Cross that will be more geared toward an examination of conscience. Following that prayer, there will be an opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
