PLEASE NOTE THESE RULES FOR CONFESSION
Those preparing for Communion must have Confession before or following the
service on the eve before Holy Communion. Confession before the Liturgy is
permissible as an exception only for those who cannot come in the evening because of their
health or for some other justifiable reason. Since we must be in church for services on the eve of
receiving Holy Communion, it is wise to have Confession at that time;
for, then there is no hurry and one can calmly and thoughtfully lay out one’s thoughts.
In the morning the priest is busy with the Proskomedia, and there is little time.
Confession becomes hurried and incomplete. Only extreme need is sufficient cause to pull
the priest away from the Proskomedia for morning Confession. What is more, Confession on
Sunday mornings frequently delays the beginning of the services. Please be considerate of the
priests and all parishioners: Attend on Saturday night and confess at that time.
If you cannot come on Saturday, please call Fr. Wsevolod (315 866-7151) or
Fr. Michael Fritz (753-7550) and make arrangements to go to Confession on
Sunday between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. A pamphlet with complete rules for
Confession and Communion is available in the narthex.
