Thursday Morning (Pre/Post Dropoff) Confession

Father Casey would like to inform parents/guardians that St. James will be adding an additional time for confession:  7:15am-7:45am every Thursday morning in the lower Church.  The vision is to offer confession at a practical time where you can stop on your way to bringing your children to school.  Please consider making confession a regular part of your spiritual life and taking the opportunity to receive the unconditional loving mercy of God.
