SUNDAY MASS – In order to maintain the state regulations for social distancing in assemblies, those attending Sunday Mass must observe our reserved seating in the chapel.  Contact us to know which group designation is yours.  The 10:00am Mass will have a sermon also.

CONFESSIONS – Confessions will be heard starting 30 minutes before each weekend Mass time for those attending that Mass.  Please be patient and wait as priest may be coming from offering Mass to hear confessions.

Also, Confessions are available for those requesting an appointment.

Please remember that anyone can regain the state of grace (removal of the guilt of mortal sins and the eternal punishment attached to them) by making a devout act of contrition with the intention of confessing his sins as soon as possible.

• CONFESSION POLICY
  1. Please no sick persons or those with symptoms of illness.
  2. No infants or children under 8 years of age should accompany the penitent on the property.
  3. The confession is heard in Office A (not Office B which is too close to the fan and it may be difficult to hear the penitent).
  4. The priest and penitent wears a mask. The penitent must provide his own mask and be properly wearing it when he arrives at the door.
  5. The penitent is 6 feet away from the priest during the confession, kneeling behind the screen and row of chairs.
  6. The door in the corridor near the utility room is closed beforehand.
