As you are aware, we are currently in Phase I of the Archdiocese's plan Faith Forward to return to public worship. Under Phase I, we are allowed to open our churches for private prayer (which we have done since the beginning of this pandemic) and resume the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession).

The hours that confessions will be heard (starting tomorrow, May 30th) are below:

Due to social distancing protocols, the confessionals in the churches will not be able to be used. At OLPH, the altar servers' room will serve as a makeshift confessional. At St. Matthew, the Sacred Heart Chapel outside the sacristy will be the makeshift confessional. These areas will afford both the priest and penitent the necessary distance to be safe. 

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church will also now be open on Saturdays, in addition to Sundays. Hours for both churches are listed below:

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church: 9:30 AM until 5 PM Saturday and 11 AM until 5 PM Sunday.

St. Matthew Church: 7 AM until 7 PM daily.

Please take advantage of these opportunities to come and pray, as well as to receive the graces offered by confession!

As we continue to plan for the resumption of public worship, the parish will share updates as warranted.
