Also known as Confession or Penance, the sacrament of Reconciliation is a great source of grace, in reconciling us to God. Catholics are encouraged to take advantage of it often, even if they are not aware of having committed a mortal sin. Those who receive this sacrament of mercy receive the gifts of forgiveness and divine inner peace. Confessions are heard in the Holy Family Hall every Saturday from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm and Tuesday through Friday 11:20 am to 11:50 am. Communal Penance Services, with an opportunity for individual confession and absolution, are held twice a year during the seasons of Advent and Lent.

The following instructions are to be observed:

  • Wear mask or face covering and keep social distancing of at least 6 feet between you and others.

  • Enter on upper level closest to the church.

  • Take your seat (along the wall) and wait for your turn.

  • Follow orange signs on the doors for “ENTER” and “EXIT.”

  • Observe orange signs on the white board for “confession behind the screen” or “face to face.”

  • Disinfect your confessional spot using the supplies provided.

We greatly appreciate your cooperation. God bless you!
