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.
