As we carefully resume public Masses at both parish sites, we ask your patience and cooperation to permit a safe and successful return. At all times, please consider not only your personal welfare but also that of others present. Together we can ensure a safe and healthy re-opening. Please read the accompanying guidelines for resuming public Masses. Fr. Tom Toale

En todo momento, tenga en cuenta no solo su bienestar personal sino también el de los demás presentes. Juntos podemos garantizar una reapertura segura. Por favor lea las pautas adjuntas para reanudar Misas públicas. P. Tom Toale
One of the challenges in this Covid time has been the celebration of the sacrament of Reconciliation. Past practice challenges the practice of social distancing for both priest and penitent. Until now, we have made the sacrament available only by request or appointment.
We have modified the Reconciliation Room at Cathedral to reinstate scheduled times on a limited basis.
The St. Patrick's Reconciliation room is much smaller and not able to be used at the present time.
The orientation of the Cathedral reconciliation room has been modified to permit expected distancing.
Scheduled confessions will be held on Sunday from 8:30-8:45 am and 5:00-5:15 pm at the Cathedral of St. Raphael. Confessees are asked to stand unless unable (a chair is available). We regret for this inconvenience, but we need to protect the priest, penitent, and any penitents following.
