Confession

There are currently two options for the Traditional Form of Confession in Lancaster:

1. Fridays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the main church at St. Mary’s Church in downtown Lancaster. Fr. Olkowski is in one confessional and Fr. Pistone is in another. If you seek the traditional absolution, simply tell Fr. Olkowski that you attend the Traditional Latin Mass and he will automatically provide the traditional form.

2. Saturdays from 4:00 to 4:45 p.m. at St. Joseph Church in the Adoration Chapel. Fr. Howard will offer the traditional form upon request. Simply ask for the traditional rite of absolution when you kneel down.

We are still working on plans in 2021 for Fr. Johannes to regularly offer Low Mass and Confession during the week. Stay tuned for more information.
