CONFESSION THIS WEEKEND!
Confession will again be offered in a drive-thru style this Saturday at 3:30PM outside the rectory. Cars are asked to enter the parking lot through the west and exit north. You can see the visual map below for specific logistical information.

Those receiving this sacrament are asked to be mindful of those around you to respect privacy and go one at a time. In addition, we encourage you to "be bold, be brief, and be gone!"

Join us this Sunday, Good Shepherd Sunday, for a blessing after Mass at 11:15AM in front of door #10 on W. 125th St.

Just like the line up for confessions and for the Divine Mercy Blessing, the entry will remain the same. You can reference the photo to the right. Please enter the west parking lot then come towards the church and follow the signs.
