The Sacrament of Penance will be offered once again on Saturday afternoon from 3:30 – 4:15 pm beginning next Saturday, June 6th.
Our parish confessional remains unsafe due to the closeness of the priest and penitent seated only a few feet apart or separated only by a grill not designed to prevent virus transmission.
For the time being Confessions will be heard in the Large Meeting Room opposite the elevator. Penitents will be seated six feet from the priest and will have the option of anonymity or facing the priest. The penitent and priest should both be wearing a face covering or mask. A waiting area will be found outside of the large meeting room with chairs also six feet apart. Confessions should not last longer than three to five minutes, in order to limit exposure of both priest and penitent..
