Confession Now Available!

When: First Wednesday of the month, beginning October 7
Time: 4:00pm – 6:00pm
Where: St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church

At this time, we are able to offer face-to-face confessions only, following the protective guidelines that are in place. 
There will be proper social distancing between the priest and the person confessing. 

Important things you need to know:

• Masks are required for everyone. They must be worn prior to entering the church and remain on at all times.  Masks can only be removed upon exiting the church.  
• Entrance is by the front doors only.  Other doors will be locked.  
  • If someone needs to use the handicap ramp, please call the office at 978-263-4302 ext. 15 and leave a message before Wednesday at noon and we will arrange for someone to unlock that door.
• Please pay attention to these restricted areas inside the church. A yellow tape will block off areas that can’t be used.
• While in the church please be sure to keep at least 6 feet apart from others. People living in one household may sit together. The pews have been marked with blue tape to indicate open rows and 6’ markers within each row. 
• Confessions will be in the sanctuary area behind the altar and in front of the tabernacle.  (This is a change of location from what you may be used to.)
  • There will be two screens in place to prevent others in the church from seeing the confession taken place.  
  • There will be soft music playing in the church to allow for privacy of each confession.  
  • There will be two chairs facing each othe, at least 6 feet apart.  
  • There will be no kneeler.  
  • Masks must be worn by the priest and the person confessing.  
• The person confessing must sanitize his/her hands just before they enter the confessional area.  A table with hand sanitizer will be available. 
• Since confessions are private there is no way to keep a list of names/emails addresses for contact tracing.  You must understand this and accept it if you come to confession.
