Opportunities for Confession:

"The Light Is On For You" - Confessions every Wednesday during Lent at St. Marys, St. Vincents in Cape, Immaculate Conception in Jackson from 6:30 - 7:30 PM in each church.

If it's been some time since you've been to confession this is a wonderful opportunity to seek reconciliation.  Just go to one of the above churches on a Wednesday during Lent, from Feb. 21-March 28 between 6:30-7:30 PM.

Fridays during Lent confessions are heard at St. Marys  following the Stations of the Cross in the evening.
