April 2 confession initiative will demonstrate God’s grace and conversion in people’s lives
On April 2, Catholics across central and southern Indiana, both those who regularly go to confession and those who may have not done so for a while, will have the chance to experience God’s mercy and forgiveness in the sacrament of penance. From 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m. on that day, priests will be available in each parish or parish cluster across central and southern Indiana to celebrate the sacrament of penance. Members of clustered parishes will be informed at which church in the cluster the sacrament will be available. (Page 1)

Lenten resources
Each year, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis provides special Lenten resources – the daily readings, archived columns from Archbishop Emeritus Daniel M. Buechlein, Stations of the Cross and links of interest – on a site located on our server (www.archindy.org/lent). We encourage you to share this link with others, most particularly because it also includes the full listing of penance schedules from around the archdiocese.
