REAL REJOICING REQUIRES REPENTANCE AND RECONCILIATION.............

Like many Catholic parishes during these Advent Days counting down to Christmas SacHeart Church in East Sacramento is holding an Advent Communal Penance Service with Individual Confessions.  This celebration of penitential sacramental readiness to worthily celebrate the Nativity of the Lord is scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight Monday December 16, in the church at 39th and J Streets.  I will be assisting Msgr. Walton, Father Juan, and other visiting priests in hearing Advent/Christmas Confessions.  Have you considered where and when between now and Christmas you will confess your sins and receive sacramental absolution, so as to cleanse the home of your body and soul to welcome and receive the Grace and Peace the Coming of Jesus The Christ in History, has for you and your families during this year's celebration of the Season of the Holy Birth of the Messiah of Humankind.............Fr,  Troy David
