Due to COVID-19, please note the following guidelines:
• All Phase 3 COVID-19 protocols are to be followed: face masks, social distancing, etc;
• As recommended by Bishop Burbidge, parishioners should be celebrating the sacraments at their own parishes during the pandemic;
• Advent confessions are for SJC parishioners;
• The Knights of Columbus will minister as ushers for the Advent confessions;
• Parishioners will be greeted by an usher and will enter the Church to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Parishioners will be directed to one of the four confession spaces for the celebration of the Sacrament. They will leave the Church immediately following the confession. Due to COVID-19 guidelines, there will be no private prayer time in the Church during this time;
• Parishioners will wait outside the Church with respect to social distancing or in their cars. This will allow for the required social distancing and not gathering in one space; and
• We thank you for your cooperation and respect of the Advent Confessions guidelines. Advent blessings!
