Penitential Rite for Lent

HRM and the Chaplaincy invite all faculty, staff, students, and outsourced personnel to the Penitential Rite for Lent on April 4 (Friday) from 3:00pm to 4:30 pm at the Sancta Maria Stella Orientis Oratory.

This year’s Penitential Rite for Lent will carry the following theme:

"The beauty of God's forgiveness of our sins!"

"Let us not neglect Confession, but rediscover the beauty of this sacrament of healing and joy, the beauty of God’s forgiveness of our sins!" (Pope Francis, Spes non confundit, 23)

The Penitential Rite is at heart a time when God’s people gather to listen more closely to His word and reflect on their lives in the light of that word. It is a time for contemplation, for being attentive to those things that at other times we cannot find time to focus on. We take part in such services to learn how to live our lives more deeply grounded in the Gospel.

Everyone who will participate in the Penitential Rite could make the most out of the activity by considering going to Sacramental Confession. 

To facilitate the logistics of the activity, those who will go to confession are encouraged to sign up here.

The guide to the examination of conscience may be accessed here.

For inquiries, please contact Ms. Zoila Pilola at [email protected].
