The homilist for the celebration will be Fr. Rolando Suplido of Stella Maris Parish in Black’s Harbour. The community penance celebration will conclude with individual confessions, and there will be 6 or 7 priests present for those who would like to celebrate the sacrament with one of them. Please join us for this celebration Sunday, April 10th at 2pm at St. Pius X Church.
