Confession for city non-Catholics

Confession Is Good For The Soul A Catholic Church has an entry in this summer's Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme, offering confession.

Priests at St Patrick's, in the city's Old Town district, say they will be "open to people of all faiths and none" over five days, starting on 20 August.

St Patrick's Parish is well-known as the first home of Edinburgh's Hibernian Football Club, set up in the mid-1870s.

Confession is usually only afforded to Catholics. The Fringe event will be free and non-ticketed.
