Wearing Out the Confessional Chairs

It seems that we've been so busy with so much Reconciliation this lent that we've worn out the chairs in the confessionals. Here are before and after pictures in both confessionals.

Tonight is the last night of "Leave the Light On" where every parish in the diocese is to offer Reconciliation from 5:30 until 7 p.m. tonight. And you can do it tonight with a new chair.

Parish Reconciliation Service

"The New Evangelization

begins in the Confessional"

Pope Benedict XVI

Tonight we will have Reconciliation starting at 5 p.m. like usual. It will continue during the 6:15 Mass as if has been in Lent. Our Parish Reconciliation Service will begin at 7 p.m. led by Fr. Larry Gillick, SJ. Then we will have more confessors available.

Keepin' The Light On

The snow doesn't matter, we'll still have

 Reconciliation tonight from 5 to 7 p.m.

We're Leaving the Light On Tonight

Each Thursday during Lent we will offer reconciliation in the church from 5 to 7 p.m. Because this is the first Thursday of Lent, we begin tonight.

Other churches in the diocese will begin this next Thursday (and until March 21st) from 5:30 to 7 p.m. We are starting at 5:00 because we already offer Reconciliation Mondays through Thursdays starting at 5 p.m. And yes, this does mean that we will have one priest in the confessional while another celebrates Mass at 5:30 p.m. tonight.
