…Lent is upon us next week
The Church will be open these weekdays:
Shrove Tuesday

“Shriven” – to have received the Sacrament with Absolution)
2pm – 3:30pm Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)
and quiet prayer in the Church
Ash Wednesday
10am – 11am Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)
and quiet prayer
11am Sung Holy Mass with Distribution of Ashes
Pre-registration is required by phone or email
to the parish office (up to 20 people)
Noon – 12:15 Distribution of Ashes and Communion in the Church
12:15 Curbside Distribution on Rue Moffat
Thursday after Ash Wednesday, and every subsequent Tuesday and Thursday during Lent
11am Mass in the Sacristy – enter by Rue Moffat side door
Other opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation
Always, by appointment with me.
Those of us on the Bishop Barron Sacraments course last night, where the topic was this Sacrament, heard him say that in Seminary he was taught when a priest is asked if a Confession could be heard, “The answer is simply and always, YES, even if the priest’s life is at risk.”
And at St. Willibrord’s in the Church:
Shrove Tuesday 4pm-6pm
Ash Wednesday 5pm-5:45
And finally, offer 2 minutes of your time as an expression of Thanksgiving for Pillars Trust financial support of our parish masses:
Pillars Trust Fund is wishing everyone at St Thomas More parish a happy valentine's day and a blessed and fruitful lent! Please take a look at our short video message here:

With my prayers for a Blessed Lent in Christ,
