Catholic Church in Bronx, NY
Because of the current safety concerns, at the present time confessions are not being heard in the regular confessionals.
The following procedures are being followed for Saturday confessions (4PM to 5PM):
1. While masks are not required, please feel free to wear a protective mask if you wish to do so.
2. You will see two confession stations in the church, one by hallway near the sacristy and the other in the front of church. We will not be using the confessionals for safety reasons.
3. When you come to confession, you may either stand or kneel.
4. Those who are waiting for confession should stand at a respectful distance to preserve confidentiality. Also while you are waiting, please observe the proper social distancing as marked by the blue tape in the aisles.
5. Please speak loudly enough for the priest to hear, but not too loudly so that others may hear you.
6. After your confession, you may remain in the church for private prayer. Please sit or kneel only in places marked with the white crosses.
