Starting 3/16, the confession schedule through the end of the month will be Wednesday and Friday from 5pm to 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 2pm to 4pm. That is more than double our usual hours. Also, please note we have added Sunday adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 12noon to 6pm in addition to the weekday hours previously announced.

Do you remember what I told you on Ash Wednesday to say to anyone who asked about that smudge on your head? “I wear these ashes to remind myself that I am a sinner, that I am dying, and that the most important task in my life right now is getting right with God.” God is now speaking a similar message to us through events far more powerful than my words.

Please take advantage of these expanded hours, especially if it has been a long time since your last confession. Before you go, use an examination of conscience to help you realize what you need to confess. One can be found here. If you know someone that is open to returning to the practice of the faith, please invite them to come to confession with you. It will be a much better experience than they fear. For in the confessional they will find the merciful love of Jesus Christ, forgiving and healing.
