Procedure for Attending the Re-opening of Confession

• The sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated in the St. Joseph Room until further notice. 
• Those wishing to celebrate the sacrament will line up in Gathering Space on the arrows, maintaining 6 feet from the door and any other person in line. 
• The priest hearing confessions will be seated inside of the St. Joseph Room. 
• The priest will then open the door and the penitent will enter, staying to his/her left in order to maintain social distance from those waiting to celebrate the sacrament. 
• He/she will make his/her confession and receive penance and absolution from the priest. 
• The priest will then open the door and the penitent will exit, staying to his/her left in order to maintain social distance from those waiting to celebrate the sacrament. 
• The next penitent will then enter the gathering space.

 
Notes for Confessions:

•  All penitents must wear a face mask inside the building (the priest will be wearing one).
• The line will be marked with arrows.
• In order to ensure that as many penitents as possible can celebrate the sacrament in the allotted time, please prepare your confession before arriving so as to make a concise, yet integral confession.
• Please speak clearly in a normal voice during confession. 
• The priest may offer brief words of counsel, but the penitent should not expect extended counsel at this time.
• Confessions will end at the indicated time, even if there are penitents still in line.  The priests are committed to offering many opportunities over the next weeks, so please respect their need to limit their time in confession to the scheduled times.

Act of Contrition
 
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.  Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.
 

Act of Contrition - Traditional Version

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I
detest all my sins because of thy just punishments, but most of all
because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of
all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more
and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.

Acto de contrición 
Dios mío, me arrepiento de todo corazón de todo lo malo que he hecho y de lo bueno que he dejado de hacer; porque pecando te he ofendido a ti, que eres el sumo bien y digno de ser amado sobre todas las cosas. Propongo firmemente, con tu gracia, cumplir la penitencia, no volver a pecar y evitar las ocasiones de pecado. Perdóname, Señor,
por los méritos de la Pasión de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo. Amén.
 

Acto de Contrición - (tradición española)

Señor mío Jesucristo, Dios y hombre verdadero, Creador, Padre y Redentor mío.
Por ser tú quien eres, Bondad infinita, y porque te amo sobre todas las cosas,
me pesa de todo corazón haberte ofendido. También me pesa que puedas castigarme
con las penas del infierno. Ayudado de tu divina gracia propongo firmemente nunca más pecar, confesarme y cumplir la penitencia que me fuera impuesta. Amén.
