The Vatican, realizing that throughout the world (including every diocese in America), the Holy Mass is not being celebrated publicly and confession is not available to so many people, published a reminder about Confession in particular.

Check out the COVID-19 tab on the top right. Check back often for additions for information and suggestions for you and our family in regards to spiritual direction as well as health and safety during this time. Above all things, trust in our Lord and PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens) through this.
