The Presence of Grace

Today we held a reconciliation service for upper school students. For a number of years we have held these services during Lent and Advent and an overwhelming majority of students have chosen to receive the sacrament therefore we determined to add a third service close to the start of each school-year. While we do not "keep count" of students that choose to receive the sacrament, seven priests heard confessions today, most of them for two solid hours. What a tremendous presence of Grace there had to be in the sanctuary, what a great way to start the school week!
