In order to offer each one of you every opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the West Bank Deanery will hold Lenten Penance Services on the following dates: Visitation of Our Lady Wed., March 18th Christ the King Wed., March 25th Our Lady of Prompt Succor Wed., April 1st At each of these services, multiple confessors will be available. All are encouraged to attend one of these Lenten Penance Services to prepare your heart and soul for the worthy celebration of Easter.
