Every year during the season of Lent, the Diocese of London hosts the Day of Confessions as a way to highlight the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
The next Day of Confessions will be Wednesday, March 25, 2026
On our annual Day of Confessions, every church across the Diocese of London will be open and have priests available to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This is a unique opportunity to encounter the Lord through his ministers and to experience his unconditional acceptance and limitless mercy—to know directly the healing power of his love.
