Advent is a time of preparation, when we make ready to celebrate the mystery of our God coming to redeem us by entering into human history two thousand years ago and living among us. Advent also moves us to look forward with a renewed hope that the Lord will come a second time, this time to bring the eternal plan of salvation to fulfillment.
This opportunity to received the sacrament of Reconciliation is to make us ready in mind, heart, and soul for the coming of Christ, which we will soon celebrate in the Mass of Christmas. Our Lady Star of the Sea will be holding its Advent Penance Service on Monday, December 11th at 10:00am (service & confessions) & 6:30pm (confessions only).
