If a person confesses to a priest that he's going to suicide tomorrow is it a sin?
Confessions are a way of asking forgivness of sins that have been committed. One cannot ask for repentance on something that has not yet taken place - that would be like saying it was "ok" to commit suicide, when it isn't.
Absolution can not be offered for something the repentant has no intention of stopping.
If you are suicidal, please call 911 right now and get help. There is too much to live for ... leaving this world will always leave those who love you and care for you hurting for many years. Stick around ... enjoy life.

I found out my friend attempted suicide Do you go to hell just for attempting suicide?
Not for that reason alone. The Bible says that the only sin which won't be forgiven is if you call God evil, and that all others can be forgiven.As long as they ask God for forgivness and truly feel sorry, it will be forgiven.Hope thsi helps answer your q! :)Roman Catholic AnswerAny sin, including attempting suicide can be forgiven if the person turns to God, confesses his sin to a priest, has contrition (sincere sorry for offending God) or attrition (fear of going to hell), says his penance, and sincerely attempts to not sin again. The only "unforgivable" sin is to think that you do not need forgiveness, in other words, you are perfectly fine yourself, and do not need God at all.
