Is the Confiteor still said anywhere?

Yesterday at Mass, my pastor skipped the entire penitential rite. He gave a general Fathers’ Day welcome, then went right into the Gloria!

Pax Christi. <><
 
It is said at every Vigil and Sunday Mass at the parishes in our town, as well as back home where I’m from–I guess I thought it was just a part of the Mass.
 
We say it just about every Sunday in our parish. I really like it because it allows us to acknowledge that we are sinners in need of Christ’s forgiveness.
 
In my parish, in the 4 years I have been here I have not heard the Confiteor once. Not in Sunday mass, daily mass, weddings or funerals, first communion or confirmation. Except for the Sundays from Easter to Pentecost this year, where we had the “sprinkling” and then the Gloria, we always have form 3 with extemporaneous prayers.

And at the “orate, fratres” or Pray brethren, our priest ALWAYS says, Pray, my friends.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
 
We don’t do it anymore, since we got our new pastor last year, and I REALLY miss it. Love our new guy, though, other than that.
 
At my local parish the confiteor is said on most Sundays. At my college (Thomas Aquinas College) the confiteor is said at all masses unless a sprinkling rite is used.
 
Yes, we still say it my parish the majority of times. There are a very few occasions when it is not said and one of the other forms are used.
 
Our priest will say the confiteor once in a blue moon. Usually he uses one of the other options to save a few seconds.

I wish he would use the confiteor all the time. I think the mass is too short as it is. We could use more devotional time, not less.

Blessings.
 
It is said every Mass, weekdays and weekends at my parish, St. Stephen the First Martyr, served by the Priestly Apostolate of St. Peter. Of course, it is the Tridentine Latin Mass. We drive over an hour each way to attend Mass at this parish. We would drive two!
On Corpus Christi Sunday there was a Solemn High Mass followed by a Corpus Christi procession. Guess what! The parish is young and growing at a rate that astonishes our bishop, Bishop Weigand of Sacramento. Remember him? He was one of, if not the first bishop, to deny a governor communion for supporting abortion. If you’ve been wondering where the Catholic Church has been hiding, try a Latin Mass community.
 
I go to a church with a Novus Ordo mass, and we say it at every Mass too! So you don’t have to limit yourself to the Latin Mass to find this prayer.

Peace,
Iguana 🙂
 
It’s used regularly in the three parishes in the Arlington Diocese that I’m familiar with.
 
We say it pretty regularly at my Church. The thing I have noticed is that many people have forgotten to “strike” their breast (I put my fist gently to my chest) at the “That I have sinned through my own fault” part. Is this aspect being forgotten? I notice it is still in the Liturgy so we are supposed to do it, right?
