Jesus Christ unites and inspires us through his Word and the sacraments to share the good news with the people of Sunderland. Together with others working for the common good, we welcome everyone in a spirit of friendship and service so that all people may know God’s love.
There will be Mass on the hour every hour from 1pm until 7pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thrusday, 28–30 April, in the Mercy Chapel in St Mary's, Brudge Street.
The priest will stay in the confessional as long as there are people there, and come back at the start of the next hour.
Jesus wants us to experience his forgivenemss. He wantes to relieve us of the burden of guilt and shame. That;s why he died for us on the cross. There is no good reason not to fo to confessions, especially if it has been a while since your last one. Jesus is waiting for you. DOn't let fear and embarrasment keep you away from this wonderful gift of mercy.
