How many times a year do Catholics go to confession?
According to paragraph 1457 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Catholics who are aware of serious sin must go to Confession at least once a year. Confession is also suggested for anyone in need of confessing smaller (venial) sins. Pope John Paul II is said to have gone to Confession once a week, despite his holiness, because as a general rule, the holier a person gets, the more aware they become of their sins.
Do you have to go to confession if you don't have mortal sins?
As you put the question, no, you must go to confession once a year, regardless, and you must go to confession anytime that you are in mortal (serious) sin. Without going to confession you may not receive Holy Communion without damning yourself. Those are the only times that you are required to go to confession.Outside of that, you need to go to confession regularly if you have any desire whatsoever to grow in the spiritual life, and obtain heaven. Once a month is the absolute minimum for that.

Is it true that the Catholic Church states that you should go to church at least once a year and that is a Easter or there about?
The doctrine is that one should go to Mass weekly, the Precepts of the Church state that you must receive Holy Communion at least once a year, and that around Easter time, and that you must go to confession, again, at least once a year, and that around Lent. This laws were put into effect many centuries ago as people were neglecting one or both of the sacraments, they are in no way a norm. One must attend Mass every Sunday and Holy Day, and, really, you should go to Holy Communion whenever you attend Mass IF you are in a state of grace (have been to confession recently) and IF you are prepared to receive Holy Communion. If you are not in a state of grace and haven't been to confession recently or if you are not prepared, then you shouldn't receive Holy Communion at that Mass.

What is a penance service?
confession and absolution of sin.Roman Catholic AnswerA penance service is a rather new invention in some areas in the Catholic Church. With the shortage of priests, and the contemporary lack of the sense of sin, there are not as many people going to confession regularly as is the norm in Catholicism. To keep this slide from getting any worse, and to make it easier for people to fulfill their Easter Obligation (Catholics are required by law to go to confession at least once a year), priests in a given area will come together on one night in Lent and conduct a penance service, afterward all the people can go to individual confession.
