Father Scott Holmer administers the confession every day in the parking lot of St. Edward Church in Bowie, according to the church’s schedule.

He sits on a chair while cars pull up to him. Holmer keeps a distance of 6-feet between himself and those who wish to confess, abiding by the social distancing practice that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urges the public to follow to stop the spread.

Worshippers can also confess anonymously. Those who wish to do so can alert Seminarian Joe McHenry and Holmer will go behind a “screen,” which is an eye mask, according to the church.
