Do Episcopalians have valid sacraments accepted by the Catholic Church?
The Church accepts baptism of Episcopals, and recognizes their marriages as legitimate from supplied jurisdiction out of necessity. It rejects holy orders, penance, extreme unction, Confirmation and the Eucharist. The Church rejects the above since the Church of England, after its break from Rome, changed the ordination rite making it invalid. Thus no priests were validly ordained, and if there are no valid priests, there are no valid sacraments save in those sacraments were the minister is not ordinarily a priest (i.e. baptism and marriage). This invalid ordination rite was used for a long period of time, long enough that no legitimately ordained ministers remained by the time they rectified the rite and returned to a legitimate form. However, some more traditional branches of the Anglican Church have sought out ordination at the hands of Catholic bishops and brought legitimate orders back into limited circulation within Anglicanism. Sacraments, preformed by these ordained ministers, are now valid, but are still considered illicit by the Church, as they are performed outside of Her and without Her consent.
Do they have Mass in Episcopal Churches?
Because the Catholic Church does not recognize the validity of Episcopal ordinations, their Mass is not celebrated validly and does not fulfill the requirements on the Catholic faithful according to Canon Law. In response to above answer: The Episcopal Church does not have a "Mass". It has a service. More and more the word "Mass" is being applied to the Episcopalian Service. It is a misnomer in the Episcopalian context. Also I'm not sure what's meant by "Catholic faithful" since the Episcopal Church is called The Holy Catholic Church to distinguish it from the Roman one.
Can a Roman Catholic receive sacraments after marrying an Anglican divorcee?
A person can receive the sacraments if they are free of mortal sin. This may include acting out a marriage that is invalid. A valid marriage of a Catholic is only through the Catholic church. [Note: 2 baptized persons who have never been Roman Catholic, can be validly married.] During the pre-cana process, the church will investigate all impediments (like prior divorces) and sort through them to either approve or deny an impending marriage. The Annullment process for example may be necessitated. If a Catholic is married outside the church (regardless of the spouses religion or marital status) they cannot receive the sacraments. Also, if a person is married to another person who is validly married, then those two persons are committing adultry, which is a mortal sin.
Can non-Catholics go to reconciliation?
No, Reconciliation is one of the seven sacraments, the first of which is Baptism. Baptism may be received by anyone, the other six sacraments require for their functioning that one first be baptized in a Catholic Church - or be accepted into the Catholic Church if you have been baptized validly elsewhere. To attempt to receive any of those six sacraments is invalid and illicit if you are not a Catholic. If you would like to speak to a priest, call the parish Office of Rectory and make an appointment.

If a divorced non Catholic marries a Catholic but not in the Catholic church is an annulment required for the Catholic to receive communion in a Catholic church?
For a Catholic to be in good standing, and to be able to receive Holy Communion, then they must not be in an irregular situation such as you describe, an objective state of sin. For the Catholic to be in a state of grace, and thus to be able to receive Holy Communion, he or she would have to fix the irregularity in his life either by obtaining an annulment and validly married the individual or by separating from them. It might be possible to receive Holy Communion and get back in a state of grace by just practicing continence, until such time as they could be validly married, but this would be an individual decision of the person's confessor. For a more thorough answer for a similar scenario, read this, written by Father Shane Johnson, a New York priest: (see link below)
Is a confirmed Christian recognized in a Catholic church?
Only the Sacrament of Baptism, that is performed in another Christian Church, is recognized by the Catholic Church..Catholic AnswerThe only sacrament that can be given by anyone - even a non-baptized person - is baptism. Every other sacrament, including confirmation, requires a validly ordained priest, which can only be found in a Catholic Church, or in an Orthodox Church which has maintained valid orders. Someone outside the Catholic Church who has been validly baptized is considered a Christian, but any confirmation attempted outside the Church would be invalid.
