CONFESSION
Prayers related to Reconciliation are at this link from our website below: https://www.catholicspiritradio.com/prayers-for-reconciliation
Otherwise, scroll down below for Local weekly Confession times:
Our list includes all Catholic churches in McLean, Livingston, Logan, DeWitt, Woodford, Ford and even northwestern portion of Champaign County and southern LaSalle County.
All cities are in McLean County unless otherwise noted. Some churches may simply say Confessions are after 8AM Mass (rather than a specific starting time) and may not list an ending time. There may be exceptions to scheduled Confession times, such as if the priest does an emergency Anointing of Sick.
NOTE: OUR YEAR-ROUND LIST HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH SPECIAL ADDITONAL CONFESSION TIMES FROM DECEMBER 21-24. THOSE TIMES ARE IN RED FONT IN THE LIST BELOW.
STARTING FRIDAY, THINGS MAY CHANGE. THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED CONFESSION TIMES THAT OCURR YEAR-ROUND ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS WILL LIKELY NOT BE TAKING PLACE ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY.
