40 Days of Adoration and Reconciliation Monday
40 Days of Adoration is an initiative in the Diocese of Columbus each year during Lent. It was initiated by Bishop Robert Brennan in 2021 and continued by Bishop Earl K. Fernandes. The intent of 40 Days of Adoration is to have a pilgrimage opportunity for the faithful to adore our Eucharistic Lord in churches throughout the Diocese of Columbus in a different location each day during Lent. Many people will travel to the participating Churches during as a special Lenten devotion to our Eucharistic Lord.
The schedule and specific times for each Church can be found below. If not otherwise listed the church will offer Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Please check local websites for any changes and to find confession opportunities in addition to Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
In addition to 40 Days of Adoration each parish is encouraged to participate in Reconciliation Monday on March 30, 2026. This is often offered as a last opportunity for confession prior to the Paschal Triduum. Please check your local parish for details about Reconciliation Monday and other confession opportunities during Lent.
