Dear Parish Community,
I called the Bishop’s Office earlier this morning, and I just got off the phone with his Vicar for Priests. We will not be offering Drive-Thru Confessions today.
It’s a good idea, a priest wanting to offer this beautiful sacrament to his people in these trouble times and in a creative way. However, it also produces an occasion to call people out of their home, while our government officials are asking everyone to remain at home as much as possible. Plus, if I offer this Drive-Thru Confession, it may cause parishioners in other parishes to press their priest to do the same. We want to keep everyone safe. I am sorry for any confusion and inconvenience.
Let’s all try our best to follow the directives of our leaders, pray for one another and all those impacted by COVID-19, and continue to find ways that we can connect to God and each other.
Along those lines, I will see you tomorrow (virtually) for our Live Stream Mass at 10am. See info and link below.
Persevere.
Fr. Dave
