March 17, 2026

During Lent we are called to a period of penance, recalling our sinfulness and humbly asking for the mercy of forgiveness.  During our Lenten Communal Penance Service, you will be given the opportunity to reflect on the missteps of life and ask for forgiveness in confession.  Our Lord hears your cries.  On March 17th we will begin our service with Adoration at 4:30 p.m., followed by Mass at 5:00 p.m., and then the penance service at 5:30 p.m. with individual confessions until concluded.   Come join us at Our Lady of the Hills Catholic Church in Elkview and open your hearts to the forgiving grace of Christ.
