Dear Parish Family,
In order to keep our people as safe as possible, this year’s December 6th Penance Service at St. Bernard Church will need to be organized differently. On the day of the service, you are invited to come to the sacrament of confession anytime between 3:00pm and 4:00pm. The liturgy of the Word that we usually have at the beginning of the service is now on video and is on our website: Video. You are invited to go to our web site and watch the short video prior to coming to Church on the 6th. Fr. Bill, Fr. George, Fr. John Antonelle and I will be hearing confessions throughout the hour.
As is our tradition, the Peace Tree honoring our military men and women will be set up at the Church and you will be invited to take one of the ornaments home and pray for that individual throughout the Christmas season.
Peace,
Fr Rick

In anticipation of our Advent Penance Service, we are asking all Blessed Sacrament Parish family and friends to update the names of active military personnel.
Please send the names to spirituality@cath-comm.org or call the office at (860) 875-0753.
These names will be added to our Peace Tree as part of our penance service. Thank you.
