If you do not show up in a court of law when you are supposed to be there you can get into trouble, because it's like your saying that the government isn't important to you and that you are just going to do whatever you want regardless of what they want from you.

Where can a summons or subpoena be served?

In many courts a summons may be served by mail under certain conditions, but a subpoena must be served personally. Whether any particular court allows service by mail will be found by reading that court's rules of civil procedure.

A common method of service of a summons and complaint by mail is to send one copy using certified mail, return receipt requested, together with one copy sent by ordinary mail simultaneously. The reason is the certified mail could possibly not be picked up leaving doubt as to whether it was delivered. This is cured by the simultaneous ordinary mailing which goes to the house without need for signature. If the ordinary mailing does not come back, that is proof enough that the address is good and the paperwork did get through.

A plaintiff still has to submit proof that the mailing was done according to the court rules before a default judgment may be entered if the defendant fails to answer the complaint.

Court rules in virtually every court require a subpoena to be served personally.

Can you subpoena a priest?

If you are asking if one can subpoena a priest for information gained in the sacrament of Confession, the answer is, in America, no. A priest cannot be legally sanctioned to reveal under duress a sin that is confessed to him. Priests are in the business of saving souls, not aiding justice, or, even, saving lives. Furthermore, even IF a priest could face legal troubles over his oath to secrecy, a devout priest would rather be jailed than break this sacred oath.
