For the past several years, Archbishop Wuerl has instituted a program called "The Light Is On For You". It is a most commendable effort to encourage more frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. I link to it above as there are useful guides to the sacrament, particularly the examination of conscience that must be done to receive the sacrament most profitably. One "across the diocese" implementation is that all parishes will be hearing confessions on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm - 8:00pm. Additional confession schedules can be located under the "locate a parish" section.
Before the inception of this program, when I went to confession I could just walk right into a confessional without waiting. Nowadays, there are lines of people waiting to confess. Believe me, I'm not complaining. This is quite nice to see, as people are starting to take their lives - both here and eternal - seriously.
