Going to confession (Sacrament of Reconciliation) is one of the most important things you can do to prepare for Christmas. A Penance Service includes public prayer, Scripture readings and a brief talk by a priest or deacon along with an examination of conscience. This is immediately followed by individual sacramental confession. Several priests will be on hand for Individual confession with absolution. (The communal parts of the service are not confession.)
