John Beck of Portsmouth, left, awaits his turn after wife Maureen entered the confessional at Holy Ghost Church in Tiverton on Friday, March 4. The Becks were among many from across the diocese and around the world who observed “24 Hours With the Lord” on March 4 and 5 by visiting a local church to receive the sacrament of penance. Many parishes across the Diocese of Providence offered “All-Day Confessions” to provide the faithful with an opportunity for spiritual renewal during the Jubilee Year of Mercy called for by Pope Francis.
