I want Him to embrace me...How can I do that unless I find a priest?”. Do what the catechism says. It’s very clear. If you don’t find a priest to go to confession, speak to God. He’s your Father. Tell Him the truth: ‘Lord, I did this and this and this. Pardon me.’ Ask His forgiveness with all your heart with an act of contrition, and promise Him, ‘afterward I will go to confession.’ You will return to God’s grace immediately. You yourself can draw near, as the catechism teachers us, to God’s forgiveness without having a priest at hand.” The Catechism of the Catholic Church, N. 1452, says: “When it arises from a love by which God is loved above all else, contrition is called ‘perfect’ - contrition of charity. Such contrition remits venial sins; it also obtains forgiveness of mortal sins if it includes the firm resolution to have recourse to sacramental confession as soon as possible.” Since Masses are cancelled, while a small thing in the grand scheme right now, some people have asked about their weekly offering. As long as you are fiscally able to give, we appreciate your continued support of the parish. Your contributions assist us in paying the utility bills and other financial obligations. Most importantly, you are helping our church maintain mission commitments to the community in a time when that commitment is more important than ever.

5th Sunday of Lent: March 29, 2020
The Uniontown Churches will be open for Private Prayer as listed, pending any additional restrictions. We ask that you please be considerate of others who may wish to pray during this time. A priest will be available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation during these times.

During this time, when we are asked to stay at home and cannot get to Confession, let us listen to the words of our Holy Father, Pope Francis: “I know that many of you go to confession before Easter...Many will say to me: ‘But Father...I can’t leave the house and I want to make my peace with the Lord. I want Him to embrace me...How can I do that unless I find a priest?”. Do what the catechism says. It’s very clear. If you don’t find a priest to go to confession, speak to God. He’s your Father. Tell Him the truth: ‘Lord, I did this and this and this. Pardon me.’ Ask His forgiveness with all your heart with an act of contrition, and promise Him, ‘afterward I will go to confession.’ You will return to God’s grace immediately. You yourself can draw near, as the catechism teachers us, to God’s forgiveness without having a priest at hand.” The Catechism of the Catholic Church, N. 1452, says: “When it arises from a love by which God is loved above all else, contrition is called ‘perfect’ - contrition of charity.
