Each Lenten season, there is a Diocesan wide effort to promote the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Penance). Each church in the Diocese of Cleveland is asked to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation from 5:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 28. Here at Assumption we will be participating fully in this evnt. There will be Confessions held in church at this time. Please avail yourselves of this unique opportunity and invite others to join you, particularly if they haven't celebrated the sacrament in a while. 

Each Wednesday evening beginning February 21, we will conduct Way of the Cross Devotions at 6:30 p.m. On March 6, 13, and 20, I will be conducting a study on the 12 Apostles and their lives and travels after the resurrection of Jesus. This is surely to be a most interesting venture. All are invited to take part in this. 

Remember that each Catholic must perform his or her Easter Duty. This means that one must receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and receive Communion once from the First Sunday of Lent till Trinity Sunday. Here at Assumption we will have our Easter Confessions on Monday afternoon, March 25 from 2-4:00 p.m., Wednesday evening, March 27 from 6-8 p.m. and Holy Thursday morning, March 28, from 10-11:00 a.m. This is in addition to our regular confession schedule. Please mark your calendars for these important dates. May your Lenten season be holy and grace-filled.
