…GOOD for the soul.

Confession is an act of honesty and courage - an act of entrusting ourselves, beyond sin, to the mercy of a loving and forgiving God (St. Pope John Paul II).

How blessed we are! Now here at St. Mary’s we have an additional opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Fr. Bosco will hear confessions prior to each of the Sunday morning Masses: from 8:00-8:15 am before the early Mass and from 10:00-10:15 am before the later Mass. These times are in addition to the usual Saturday time (3:30-4:30 pm) and the First Friday time of 8-9:00 pm whenever there is Adoration.

This new Sunday time could be a perfect and timely opportunity for you to receive the graces of this holy sacrament.
