during plenary and group sessions. We are looking for priests to hear confessions. The diocese of Buffalo has
issued the following statement for priests wanting to serve as confessors:
"Every validly ordained priest in good standing with his own Diocese has the right
to celebrate the Eucharist where ever he travels. The same validly ordained priest has the faculty to hear
confession if he is so allowed within his own diocese. Permission from our bishop will be assured if we kindly
request all priests attending the Congress who are not from the Buffalo Diocese, to submit a letter from their
Bishop stating that they are a priest in good standing within their own diocese or a copy of their Diocesan ID
card that some Diocese may have."
