What is an Advent Penance Service?

"An Advent Penance Service is a communal Catholic liturgy during the Advent season, focusing on preparation for Christmas by hearing Scripture, reflecting with an examination of conscience, praying together (including the Act of Contrition), and then offering individual confession and absolution with a priest, helping the faithful reconcile with God and the Church before the Nativity. It emphasizes communal sinfulness and healing, preparing hearts for Christ's coming. "

On Monday, December 22nd, at 5:00 PM several priests will be available for confessions at St. Ann Catholic Church in preparation for the celebration of the BIrth of Our LORD, Jesus Christ.
