If so, which part and please explain.
Is there a Part of the Mass in which All your Venial Sins are Automatically Forgiven?

Excerpts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
Paragraph 1393:
Holy Communion separates us from sin.
Paragraph 1394:
As bodily nourishment restores lost strength, so the Eucharist strengthens our charity, which tends to be weakened in daily life; and this living charity wipes away venial sins.

Eucharist does not forgive your venial sins, it is the Penitential Rite that is where the venial sins are forgiven. This is the part where you either say the confetior, (I confess to almighty God…) or one of the other forms that comes before the Kyrie and Gloria. Sometimes the Kyrie is omitted because the Lord Have Mercy etc… is contained in the form used for the Penitential Rite.

Hmmm, then how do you explain the teaching of the Catechism?
We actually ask Our Lord for mercy throughout the Mass, including the “Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us,” and right before we receive communion when we say “Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed.”
Truly the reception of Our Lord in Holy Communion wipes away our sins!

The Eucharist in and of itself does not forgive venial since, It may forgive venial sin but only under the correct circumstances, one must be contrite and truly sorry for those sins, but the benefits of the Eucharist will be greatly reduced. The Eucharist is supposed to be recieved when one is in a state of Grace as the Eucharist is a sacrament that increases santifying grace, not supplies it like penance. That is why, before the Eucharitics Liturgy section in the Mass, they have the Penitential Rite which is specifically there for your venial sins to be forgiven.
I keep forgetting the latest catechism teaches this as compared to the old catechism I was raised under so I will concede and take back the part about the Eucharist not forgiving venial sins, but I will stick to the penitential rite of the Mass is there for that purpose so that one can recieve the greatest amount of spiritual benefit from the Holy Eucharist.

I used to be under the impression that the Kyrie forgave venial sins. It doesn’t.

Ok, so we are suppose to be free from sin before recieving the Eucharist.
How does that work?

Does this forgiveness apply to non-Catholics that visit the Mass too?

My understanding is that venial sins are forgiven if you are sorry for them. We don’t need a rite or sacrament for the forgiveness of venial sins. If this is accurate, then venial sins are forgiven in whichever part of the Mass your heart turns away from them and toward God.

Mortal sin is remitted by Baptism and penance.
Venial sin, and the temporal penalties due to it, by good works done in a state of grace. These good works are: Prayer, fasting, almsgiving, hearing Holy Mass, receiving Holy Communion, use of the sacramentals, gaining indulgences, forgiving offences.
The Mass in itself prepares for the remission of venial sin in one part and remits them in another. The penitential rite at the beginning of Holy Mass helps us to focus on all our faults and failings and prepares us for the forgivness which is to come in reception of the Holy Eucharist. Listen to the words "To prepare ourselves for the celebration of these sacred mysteries let us call to mind our sins." This is followed by the ***Kyrie ***and then the words "May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life." The Penitential rite prepares us for the rest of the Holy Mass.
Like confession our examination of conscience, confession of sins and act of contrition prepare us for the absolution we are about to receive. These acts do not remit sin but prepare heart and mind for the reception of Absolution.
Remember too that dispositions are needed, for even though the Eucharist contains the very Author of all grace, it does not operate like magic: we must do what we can.
The Church teaches that it is not required to be free from all venial sin in order to receive Holy Communion. The reception itself may forgive venial sins for which one is sorry. But the fruits of receiving are reduced. It is especially needed that one be free from all deliberate venial sin - in contrast to sins of weakness, sins when one is taken off guard.
