Encourage
Others!
You can participate in this Lenten Confession Campaign in many
ways. During this Holy Season of Lent, use this opportunity to
evangelize by encouraging others to receive the Sacrament!
Remember there are two different audiences to
reach out to: those who are Parish members and those, who for
whatever reason, have been estranged from the Church.
You can do this in many ways:
- Pray that
many faithful open their hearts to receive the mercy of God
through this Sacrament.
- Hand out
the prayer cards with
the Act of Contrition and steps for the Rite of Reconciliation
to family, friends, and those you may encourage to receive
this Sacrament during Lent.
- Hang Posters in your Community so
that people in the neighborhood may learn about the Confession
Campaign. You can ask for more posters at the Catholic Center,
free of cost, by calling 416-1440 and contacting Gina Donnarummo,
or by email: gdonnarummo@diobpt.org
Evangelization
opportunity for teens and students in Confirmation programs!
Teens can help publicize the Lenten Confession Campaign by
visiting local businesses (supermarkets, restaurants, stores,
laundromats, etc.) and hanging posters publicizing the campaign. Be
sure teens ask to speak with a manager and get permission before
hanging posters. This could be a great opportunity of evangelization
for teens to be a witness in their faith, especially in the
spirit of the Year of St. Paul. It could even become a project
for your Confirmation class.
- Participating
and leading prayer on Tuesday nights. Whiles
the penitents come to the Parish to receive the Sacrament,
you can lead in prayer, or
offer leadership opportunities
in prayer on Tuesday Nights to Teens! You may encourage
teens to lead a small prayer service in the Church, including
the Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, or praise and worship.
- Read and
learn more about the importance of this Sacrament, so
that you may become a good advocate.
- Share with others the
different venues where the campaign is being publicized!
