A pastoral initiative in the nation's capital this Lent will encourage Catholics to experience God’s love and mercy through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
“Lent is a time to heal,” said Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl of Washington, D.C.
The cardinal announced that his archdiocese will once again take part in a penance campaign known as “The Light is On for You” and will be joined by the faithful of Arlington.
All Catholic churches in the Archdiocese of Washington and the Diocese of Arlington will be open for Confessions and silent prayer every Wednesday during the season of Lent from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
