Apostolic Penitentiary organizes seminar on Sacrament of Reconciliation
Liturgy
First source report
The Apostolic Penitentiary organized a seminar on the Sacrament of Reconciliation for more than 800 participants on October 23 and 24, 2026. Attendees participated both in person and online.
Bishop Krzysztof Nykiel, the Regent of the Apostolic Penitentiary, stated that the seminar was created to meet requests from the faithful who wanted a deeper understanding of the sacrament. While the office has provided training courses for priests, this seminar was designed for laypeople.
The program aimed to help the faithful understand sincere repentance and overcome feelings of shame, fear, or the discouragement caused by repeated sins. Bishop Nykiel invited those who have distanced themselves from the sacrament to rediscover God's mercy.
