New Regular Confession Time Added
A new permanent Confession time is being added to our regular schedule. From now on, Confessions will be heard on Wednesday after the 12pm Mass (approximately 12:30pm) on every Wednesday excluding Holy Days. Confessions are being added at that time to make it easier for our parishioners who are unable or uncomfortable driving at night to have an additional day time Confession option after our 8am Saturday morning option. This schedule will begin on Wednesday, Dec 4. Our Confession schedule is now:
Wednesday after the 12pm Mass
Wednesday at 6:30pm
Saturday at 8am
Saturday at 3:30pm
As always, show up early because Father will stop hearing Confessions once the line runs out.
