Schedule for Sacramental Reconciliation in preparation for Christmas
All are encouraged to celebrate the sacrament of Penance in preparation for Christmas. Here at Saint Elizabeth, we will have an extended period of confessions (9:00-11:00 AM) on Saturday, December 17 and a Communal Reconciliation Service with individual confessions at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, December 20. A number of visiting priests will be on hand for both occasions.
There are also Penance Services in area parishes, as follows: on Thursday, December 15, at Saint Patrick Church in Malvern and at SS. Simon & Jude Church in West Chester; on Monday, December 19, at SS. Philip & James Church in Exton and at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in West Chester; and on Wednesday, December 21, at St. Joseph Church in Downingtown. All begin at 7:00 PM.
Christmas Mass Schedule
Note: Because of the severe over-crowding at the first Mass on Christmas Eve each year, we encourage our regular parishioners, if at all possible, to plan to celebrate Mass at 7:30 PM on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day itself. Thank you for your cooperation!
