The Sacrament of Reconciliation takes place on Saturdays from 9:30 am to 10:00 am.
- Reconciliation is available in English and Spanish.
- The Reconciliation Room is located in the gathering space of the church, to your left as you enter from the main staircase.
- Look for the indicator lights at the top of the door: green light and an open door indicate a priest is available for confession, a red light and a closed door indicate that someone else is actively confessing in the room with a priest. If the lights are off, the priest is not available.
The following are resources offered to those who are preparing to go to Reconciliation, especially if it has been a long time.
