The Sacrament of Penance is a wonderful gift from Jesus. The original name for the Secular Franciscan Order was the “Order of Penitents,” as they stressed the need for mercy and forgiveness in this world. The sacrament offers a cleansing of your soul and brings healing needed to so many in our troubled communities. We invite you to visit a priest during this Year of Mercy and experience the healing of God’s boundless mercy, love, and grace.
