IMPORTANT!  The Archbishop has dispensed with the Sunday Mass obligation until further notice.  Updates will be made available on the parish app and Facebook page and on our new webpage under Our Parish titled COVID. Masses continue to be broadcast on Facebook live.  Church office is open. Pray for healing, protection, and peace!

Reconciliation:  This is a difficult time and I want to take a minute or two to help with us having reconciliation offered by appointment only.  See the blog that I wrote a few years ago under Priestly Ponderings.  Google the Pope; he has done some great teachings.  First, if you have a question as to whether your sin is a mortal sin or not, by definition, it is not!  Second, as the Pope has restated and the catechism is clear, if no priest is available, if you go to God and from the bottom of your heart, express your sorrow, you are forgiven and just go to reconciliation next time it is available. Also, anyone that is participating in a streamed Mass or watching on TV, when the Priest says, “May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins…”  all but mortal sins are forgiven.
