Communal Reconciliation Services

Most parishes offer confession times at least once a week, but priests are willing to make appointments when requested. During Lent, churches will offer communal penitential services as well. During the service, a priest will lead a short service with prayers, readings and songs, followed by private, individual confessions with several priests available.
