Communal Penance Services are one way to celebrate the Sacrament of Penance (Reconciliation). During the service, Catholics have an opportunity for private confession and absolution with a priest. Because there are a number of priests present you may choose the priest you wish to confess to; however, because time is limited in this format, a Communal Penance Service is not ideal if you have serious concerns or questions you wish to discuss at length with the priest. You are welcome to participate in a Communal Penance Service even if you are unable to go to confession.
