Even Priests Go to Confession

In this engaging episode of Father & Dad, Fr. Steven and Dad tackle a question many people have wondered about: how do priests go to confession? Do they just confess to themselves? Fr. Steven explains that, just like everyone else, priests confess their sins to another priest and receive God’s mercy through the sacrament. He shares how many priests also have a spiritual director and regular confessor who help guide them on their own journey toward holiness.

The conversation turns to the laity as well, as Dad reflects on how every Christian can benefit from spiritual direction and offers thoughts on how to seek one out. Together, they remind listeners that confession and spiritual guidance are not just for priests—they’re gifts for all who want to grow closer to Christ.
