Hi, guys —
- If your priest gave you a penance, and
- you did not completely understand it, and
- did not realize it until after you left the Confessional, and
- did not go back
- Should you mention it the next time you go to Confession?

Ann,
It is not necessary, instead you could pray a Rosary.
When you go back to Confession make sure to gain clarity before you leave; it will not invalidate your Confession so long as you had a firm purpose of amendment and said your prayers as penance.
Peace,
