The sacrament of reconciliation is being made available throughout the Diocese of Peoria during Lent, with most parishes adding times for individual confession for the Jubilee Year of Mercy. This is especially true on Wednesdays as part of the “Light of Mercy” initiative started at the request of Bishop Daniel R. Jenky, CSC.

In addition, The Catholic Post invited parishes to provide information about the reconciliation services that are planned as Easter approaches. The following list was compiled from their responses.
