The Sacrament of Confession is no longer offered in the church parking lot.

Effective March 23rd, 2020  individual confessions will only be heard in cases of necessity. 

Bishop Gainer has informed the priests that with the churches closed throughout the diocese and penance services suspended, priests are to be careful to respond to the requests for confession from those who are dying.

The faithful are strongly encouraged and urged to request the sacrament of confession only in danger of death.

To protect the priest as well as the parish staff, priests in the Diocese of Harrisburg are not to hear confessions in the parish office or rectory at this time.

Pastoral necessity and pastoral discretion will dictate the sacrament as well as its location.
