"One of the things I’ve experienced in my own life is once we know the powerful effect that the sacrament can have in our lives, we want it more," Archbishop Bernard Hebda said. "Even, in part, the hope here — for the Holy Father but also for us in the archdiocese — is that maybe there is some people who haven’t been to confession in awhile, and maybe this will be the opportunity for them once again for them to experience the joy of being forgiven of their sins, and the joy that ignites that love for this sacrament."
