For this reason I have decided to declare an Extraordinary Jubilee that has the mercy of God at its center. It will be a Holy Year of Mercy. - Pope Francis Join us as we celebrate the gift of God s forgiveness in this special year dedicated to mercy by participating in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and actively showing mercy and compassion towards others.

Seek and Provide Mercy Discuss this question: What is the Sacrament of Reconciliation? Why is it important to go to Confessions regularly? The Year of Mercy begins December 8 th. How can you show mercy to others? Then, show mercy to someone in your life. The Archdiocesan Day of Reconciliation is coming up on December 14 th.
