Why Not Confiteor at Every Mass?

Listen to the audio version of this content

Question:

Why isn’t the Confiteor said at every Mass?

Answer:

The Penitential Act is an essential part of the Sacrifice of the Mass, although the Confiteor need not be prayed as part of it. For more information, see the “Order of the Mass” section of your parish missal.
