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)
What are the rituals of Holy Orders?
Holy Orders is when someone is ordained clergy: bishop, priest, or deacon.Catholic AnswerThe rituals of Holy Orders is the Ordination Ceremony in which the Bishop lays his hands on the individual to be ordained. In ordination to the diaconate, the newly ordained deacon is given a copy of the Gospels to signify his responsibility to read and proclaim them. In ordination to the priesthood, the one being ordained has his hands consecrated with Sacred Chrism and he receives a paten and chalice. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Orders, Sacrament of.The sacrament that, by the imposition of a bishop's hands, confers on a man the grace and spiritual power to sanctify others. There are three forms of this sacrament, also called sacramental orders, namely diaconate, priesthood, and episcopate. They are not, however three sacraments, but only one sacrament that is separately administered with three successively higher sacramental effects. It is certain that every baptized male can be validly ordained, although it would be highly illicit to ordain him before the age of reason. It is likewise certain that every baptized male can be validly ordained a priest without previously being ordained a deacon. However, the more probably teaching is that a baptized male cannot be validly consecrated a bishop unless he has previously been ordained a priest.
