The Sacrament of Reconciliation
As of 2021, I have moved our sacramental schedule for Reconciliation to be every other Sunday between our 8:30 A.M. and 10:30 A.M. Masses. This represents a desire to offer the sacrament more readily to those already joining us. This was done with the knowledge that neighboring parishes offer different days, times, and opportunities. In doing so on Sunday, we gladly accept any visitors alongside our regular Mass attendees.
Our schedule may be found below, but the general pattern:
+ During the normal course of the year: every other Sunday from 9:30 A.M. - 10:15 A.M. (or as needed)
[The priest celebrating the 8:30 A.M. Mass typically will do Reconciliation, so they don't have to rush/leave for 10:30 A.M. Mass, but this isn't always possible.]
+During Advent or Lent: every Sunday 9:30 A.M. - 10:15 A.M. (or as needed)
+During Advent or Lent: one Parish Reconciliation service, often paired with Vespers, accompanied by multiple priests
