\"Confession\"In 2009, three New York dioceses began the All Day Confessions campaign, an initiative to encourage Catholics to attend confession. Also known as Confession Monday, parishes in the Dioceses of Brooklyn and Rockville Center, and the Archdiocese of New York offer the Sacrament of Confession from 3 pm to 9 pm on the Monday of Holy Week. This year, the dioceses have sponsored a student video contest called I-Confess<\/a>, in which students submit videos on YouTube which encourage others to attend confession. The top prize is $25,000 in scholarships, with another $25,000 going to the winner’s school or parish.<\/p>\n

To date, 87 videos have been submitted<\/a>, and I’ve embedded some of my favorites below:<\/p>\n
