The sacrament of reconciliation

Confession in Prague

Many churches in Prague hear confessions every day. Some keep a fixed time, others have a priest available for half an hour before every Mass — each entry below carries the parish's own wording. You do not need an appointment, and you do not need to belong to the parish.

Times checked 21 September 2026

The times below are the ones parishes publish themselves. Confessions are heard at churches not listed here too — where no fixed time is announced, you can usually ask a priest before or after Mass, or ring at the parish house. If you need to confess in another language, ask in the sacristy: priests in central Prague hear confessions in English, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish.
