A Marathon of Mercy: 12 Hours of Confession
Whether it’s been a few days or more than a few years, we invite you to join us on Saturday, April 5, 2025, between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. in the Lower Shrine Confessionals for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We will have six Augustinians (a new priest every two hours) to hear Confessions and serve as conduits of God’s mercy and love. Let nothing be an obstacle to experiencing the mercy and love of God in your life!
Saint Rita, generous in forgiving, pray for us!

Pray Your Way Tuesday
The Upper and Lower Shrines will stay open late on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 for anyone who desires a space for personal prayer, silence, meditation, or the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the midst of Holy Week. All are welcome!
Saint Rita, keep praying for us!
