The order of Davening on a fast day if Baal Bris [i.e. Mohel; Sandek; Father] is present:[1]

Tachanun [and Lamnatzeiach; Keil Erech Apayim]:[2]

If there is a Baal Bris present by the Minyan on a fast day, then Tachanun, [Lamnatzeiach and Keil Erech Apayim] is omitted. This omission includes the paragraph of Vehu Rachum recited on Mondays and Thursdays.

 Selichos:[3]

Even if there is a Baal Bris present by the Minyan, in which Tachanun is to be omitted, as stated above, nevertheless, Selichos is to be recited. [When saying it within the prayer, one is to begin from Keil Erech Apayim.[4] Some however are accustomed to say an abridged version of the Selichos.]

Does the Chasan or Baal Bris himself recite Selichos?[5] The Baal Bris does not recite Selichos.

Avinu Malkeinu:[6]

Even if there is a Baal Bris present by the Minyan, in which Tachanun is to be omitted, as stated above, nevertheless, Avinu Malkeinu is to be recited. [Regarding the Chabad custom: There were years that the Rebbe omitted Avinu Malkeinu during Aseres Yimei Teshuvah if a Bris was to take place. However in other years the Rebbe recited it.]
