Kumpisalang Bayan

The Holy Week penitential service and confessions, or Kumpisalang Bayan, was held over three full evenings, from March 26, Holy Monday, to March 28, Holy Wednesday. Following the 6 pm masses on Holy Monday to Holy Wednesday, there was a short Penitential Rite with Examination of Conscience. Then the four assigned priests, which included Fr. Diony Acaso, CTK’s regular guest priest, took their positions in the two confessional boxes at the back of the church and at the front side corners to hear the individual confessions. Although confessions were supposed to last till only 8 pm, for all three days, the Kumpisalang Bayan ran over time, up to past 9 pm on two of the three days.
