Advent is a time of preparation for the coming of our Lord as the baby born of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the humble stable of Bethlehem. The Church reminds us that our preparation must involve a change of heart as we prepare the way of the Lord in our own lives. One of the best ways to do this is through a good confession.

At St. Thomas Aquinas, there will be special times for confession over the next ten days. Beginning on Monday, December 15th and through Tuesday, December 23rd, confession will be heard from 8:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. on Monday through Friday and from 9:00 a.m until 10:00 a.m on Saturday. This takes place after the morning mass.

These special Advent confession times are in addition to the normal confession times at St. Thomas which are from 7:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m on Thursdays and at Holy Comforter on Saturdays from 3:30 p.m until 4:30 p.m.
