During the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, Bishop Frank J. Caggiano worked with diocesan pastors and priests to open Centers of Mercy throughout Fairfield County.
“I am delighted to confirm an initiative of great importance in the life of our diocese,” said the bishop at the time, “and I am most grateful to the pastors of these parishes for their generosity in making their churches available for this important initiative.”
Two Centers of Mercy were located in each Vicariate of the diocese, one for Tuesday evenings and one for Thursday evenings. The Centers of Mercy were open, and a priest was available to offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation, each Tuesday or Thursday evening, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm beginning in Lent, and extending throughout the Year of Mercy.
“With the Centers of Mercy, no Catholic in our diocese will need to wait more than two or three days before there are regularly scheduled Confessions in his or her local area,” the bishop said.
