An Evening of Confession offers a chance to experience forgiveness

News of the Diocese

March 5, 2020

Reconciliation is a sacrament that offers every Catholic a chance to speak to God through a priest as they confess their sins. Each time Catholics go to confession, they experience God’s love, mercy and forgiveness.

An Evening of Confession offers a chance to experience forgiveness
This opportunity will be available once again on March 11 during the diocesan-wide Evening of Confession. Churches throughout the eight-county Catholic Diocese of Cleveland will offer the sacrament of reconciliation that evening. Use the parish locator to find a parish and to double-check the hours a priest will be available to hear confessions. Most parishes will have priests available for reconciliation 5-8 p.m. on March 11.

All Catholics are invited to visit a church and to experience the love and forgiveness of the sacrament. Parishes also welcome those who have been away from the sacrament or from the Church to reconnect and reconciliation is a good first step. Priests and other resources – diocesan and parish-based -- are available to help answer with questions. Visit welcomecatholics.com for more information on the Evening of Confession and how to prepare for the sacrament.

Father Mike Stalla, pastor of SS. Cosmas and Damien Parish in Twinsburg, said many people go to confession during Lent, but may not be aware of the schedule for confessions in their parish. An Evening of Confession provides an opportunity for all to participate in the sacrament of reconciliation, he said. “The priest lets you know God forgives you,” he added.

“A lot of people walk around carrying a sense of guilt or a feeling that they want to start fresh,” he said, and confession gives them a chance to say they’re ready to give up on the old life and to start fresh again.

“Every Catholic who goes by a Catholic church in the diocese on March 11 can go in and a priest will be ready to receive you, to wash away your sins and give you what you need to start fresh again,” Father Stalla.

The season of Lent is a time when we get ready for the resurrection of Easter, he said, and the sacrament of confession is a good way to do that.

Visit the diocesan website for more Lenten resources.
