Adoration and drive-thru confessions were available at Sacred Heart Church in Winchester March 28 where the faithful drove up, parked and waited their turn to confess.

Portable confessionals were set up in three entranceways to Sacred Heart Academy and Father Bjorn Lundberg, pastor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church; Father Stephen Holmes, parochial vicar; and Father Stephen J. Shultz, chaplain at St. Paul VI Catholic High School in Fairfax, administered the sacrament.

Adoration also was available inside the main church where no more than 10 people were allowed in at a time, or from cars in the parking lot where a monstrance was visible from a window in the rectory facing the parking lot.
