In response to the Ninth General Synod and its implementation plan, below are a few resources to share with your catechists, students, parents, and parish community to encourage them to seek God's mercy through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
March 10, 17, 24, and September 15, the Archdiocese of New Orleans will hold its annual Lenten Evenings of Confession. That night, all Catholic Churches will be open for the Sacrament of Reconciliation for expanded hours, particularly between 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM.
Along with the resources the Office of Religious Education has listed below, the Office of Communications has made available digital assets (like the banner above) for websites and social media platforms to promote this special evening in your parish and within your communities.
