Frequently Asked Questions
- When is confession in the Archdiocese of Chicago?
- Saturday afternoon is the most common time across the Archdiocese of Chicago, usually in the half hour to hour before the vigil Mass. 231 parishes across 83 towns are listed above with their own times, because they genuinely differ.
- Do I need an appointment?
- Not for a scheduled time — you can simply turn up. Most parishes also offer confession by appointment, which is worth asking about if the published times do not suit you.
- Can I go to confession at a parish I am not registered at?
- Yes, and many people prefer to. Any priest with faculties in the diocese can hear your confession, wherever you are registered.
