  I imagine you might be thinking of making the sign of the cross. Basicly people touch their heads, their chest of their heart, then the left and right shoulders. All with the tips of two fingers.

    Not in this case, no. I’m speaking of the Confiteor (I Confess).

    Ah, here we go:

    …we will now repeat it three times while striking our breasts in a sign of repentance, saying: ‘Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault’".

      I wonder if this is an American catholic thing? Probably some European country has it (Ireland maybe?) but others don’t. I’m from a catholic country and never heard of people doing this.
