Parish Resources

It's important that each parish create an atmosphere that is both open and inviting during this time. Information for newcomers and visitors should be readily available.

The Archdiocese of Denver offers the following resources to assist parishes in promoting "The Light is ON for You" campaign.

Pamphlet: "Frequently Asked Questions about Confession"

Pamphlet: "Examination of Conscience"

Pamphlet: "The Rite of Reconciliation"

Pamphlet: "What is Eucharistic Adoration*"

*We recommend that each parish offers Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament during the time of confession. The presence of the Blessed Sacrament accentuates the presence of the Lord for those who are attending confession. It will also offer those people who do not wish to attend confession, the opportunity to pray for their brothers and sisters struggling with their faith or their relationship with the Catholic Church.

Reflection Aids: "Examinations of Consience"

Written Reflections:

"The Place of Devotional Confession in the Spiritual Life"

"Reconciliation and Penance in the Mission of the Church Today"
An apostolic exhortation by the late Pope John Paul II
"To those who have been far away from the sacrament of Reconciliation and forgiving love, I make this appeal: Come back to this source of grace; do not be afraid! Christ himself is waiting for you. He will heal you, and you will be at peace with God!"
