UPDATED: Communal reconciliation services for Lent

Lenten is a good time for an examination of conscience and to receive the sacrament of reconciliation in preparation for the celebration of Christ’s passion, death and reconciliation. Here is a partial list of Lenten communal reconciliation services in the Jefferson City diocese. Most services will include a short prayer service followed by individual confessions. Extra priests from neighboring parishes are typically present to help out.
