Confession Times at our parish

Our parish is blessed with priests on fire to spread the Mercy of God!
The following are confession times at St. Joachim Church:
Wednesday: 6:00 pm - 8 pm
Saturday: 9:00 am- 11:00 am

We have confessions in the church courtyard. Please drive into the main parking lot and pull up to one of the volunteers. You will receive a number. Please park and wait in your car until your number is called. Once your number is called, you make exit your car and wait in line with your mask on. Volunteers will stop giving out numbers once we have a certain amount of people waiting to allow enough time for the priest to hear all of those confessions and be done by the set time. ​

"In the life of the body a man is sometimes sick, and unless he takes medicine, he will die. Even so in the spiritual life a man is sick on account of sin. For that reason he needs medicine so that he may be restored to health; and this grace is bestowed in the Sacrament of Penance."
-St. Thomas Aquinas

"Christ instituted the sacrament of Penance for all sinful members of his Church: above all for those who, since Baptism, have fallen into grave sin, and have thus lost their baptismal grace and wounded ecclesial communion. It is to them that the sacrament of Penance offers a new possibility to convert and to recover the grace of justification. The Fathers of the Church present this sacrament as “the second plank [of salvation] after the shipwreck which is the loss of grace.”
-Catechism of the Catholic Church 1446
