Recognizing the importance of having the Sacrament of Reconciliation within a suitable and adequate time period that makes it available for all, the Sacrament will now be celebrated every Wednesday from 11:00 am to 12:10 pm and every Saturday from 11:00 am to 12:10 pm. The new schedule will begin on Ash Wednesday, February 14th, 2024. At the end of Lent, we will re-evaluate whether or not we should try other times that may be more suitable.
