The Sacrament of Reconciliation

The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance, or Confession) through the words of absolution spoken by the priest, Christ himself forgives our sins.

If it is some time since your last Confession, don’t worry, the priest will help you to make a good Confession. This website may also help you to prepare and answer questions you may have: The Light is On for You. 

Priests are available for Confessions in our churches at:
  • St Peter's, Fridays, 9.30-10am
  • St Richard's, Reconciliation Room in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, Wednesdays, 10-11am and 6-6.45pm 
  • St Wilfrid's, Wednesdays, 9.30-10am
  • Our Lady of the Assumption, Tuesdays, 9.30–10am
  • ​at other times by arrangement.
The Sacrament is also available before or after all the weekend Masses during Advent and Lent. See the Newsletter for details.
