Since this is the season for repentance, please use the remaining space in this bulletin for making a thorough list of your sins.  (You may use an additional sheet of paper if necessary, wink, wink).  Next week we will also provide an examination of conscience utilizing the Spiritual Works of Mercy.  Bless you and may God make your Advent especially holy this year.

(For a more anonymous confessing experience, there will be a communal Penance Service at St. George Parish on December 19th at 7:00 PM).
