A Note from Father Dan

Dear Parish Family,
As difficult as it may seem to believe, we are coming into the last two weeks of this Lent. Next Sunday is Palm Sunday and we are into Holy Week. We have looked at the traditional practices of prayer, fasting and alms giving. This week I would like to encourage everyone (myself included) to take the time to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation, go to Confession. This experience of the Sacramental forgiveness of sin is an excellent way to bring Lent to a conclusion and prepare spiritually for Easter: the Resurrection of Christ. Confession is available every Tuesday from 5:30 – 6 PM, Saturday from 3:30 – 4:00 PM. Additionally, St. Francis, St. Mary’s, St. Joseph’s and St. Michael-St. Peter’s Churches will come together on Monday, April 4 at 7:00 PM at St. Mary’s in Skaneateles will celebrate a Lenten Penance service with multiple priests available for Confession. Monday, April 11 we hold the ‘Light is on For You’ with confession available in Church from 4 – 7:00 PM. If none of these times work for you, you can call the Rectory and make an appointment with me for Confession.
God Bless,
Fr. Dan
