Shrove Tuesday refers to being ‘shriven’, that is, going to Holy Confession and being assigned a penance. Accordingly, Confessions will be heard in the church from 4:30 until 6 pm. All Orthodox Christians are expected to go to Holy Confession a minimum of once per year during Lent (Shrove Tuesday counts), but more often if they are serious about spiritual growth.
Pancake supper following at 6 pm.
