Firstly, because of the availability of Father G\u00e9rald Lajeunesse omv, present in Fontenay-aux-Roses from 2003 to 2013, and Father Fran\u00e7ois, who both started as confessors in 2008. <\/p>\n\n<p>With so many pilgrims and visitors, the presence of confessors is essential. We all know that this is a ministry focused on God&#8217;s mercy towards all those who come and ask for this sacrament. A visit to Notre-Dame often opens the door to a closer relationship with God.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s pray for a rediscovery of this sacrament because, let&#8217;s face it, confessors are very much present in it, penitents can easily find their way around and they are eagerly awaited.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, the Oblates of the Virgin Mary are also confessors at St Rita&#8217;s shrine.
