You may now receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation! The Bishop has given us permission to try something new: DRIVE UP CONFESSION!!
Confessions available:
Saturdays:
4:00 - 6:00 pm
Wednesdays:
4:00 - 6:00 pm
How Does It Work?
1. The priest will be seated near the curb.
2. The driver will pull forward and stop in a designated space, roll down the window, and stay in the car.
3. The priest will hear the person’s confession, prescribe a penance, and give absolution.
4. The car will pull away.
5. The next car, that has been waiting at a distance, will then pull forward.
There must be only ONE person in the car.
There will NOT be an option for anonymous confessions.
Where Is the Designated Place for Drive Up Confession?
For confession, please drive around the back of the church and the priest will be stationed at the curb outside of the Parish Center entrance. If there is a car in front of you, please stop at the statue of the Blessed Mother (there will be a sign).
DAILY MASS OPTIONS and POPE FRANCIS
Fr. Nick is offering a private Mass every day for all of you. This Mass is being filmed for you to view daily on St. Mary Facebook page or website.You may also say a prayer for a Spiritual Communion. (There are also other options for viewing daily Mass online or through the Web). Today is the Solemnity of St. Joseph. Pope Francis has asked all Catholics to unite spiritually and pray the rosary simultaneously, today on the Feast of St. Joseph. This will happen at 4 PM our time.
The Consultative Board is thrilled to announce the appointment of Edward Reynolds as the new principal of Our Lady of the Valley Regional School for the upcoming 2020-2021 school year. The selection of Mr. Reynolds is the result of a comprehensive and competitive search process that consisted of several very talented applicants.
