The Archdiocese of New York, the Diocese of Brooklyn, and the Diocese of Rockville Center, have been hosting a video contest to encourage Catholics, especially young Catholics, to go to confession on Reconciliation Day, Monday, April 18. The
i-confess contest asked young people to submit their videos online, with the winner receiving a $25,000 scholarship award. Apparently quite a few young folks took advantage of the contest. It sounds like a wonderful way to promote this sacrament that is so neglected at a time when it is so needed. I've included the official video introducing Reconciliation Day below...
If you would like to view some of the submissions -- many of them quite clever -- you can see them here:
i-confess video submissions. I've included my favorite below:
When the winner is announced I'll try to remember to post the video here.
