Mass times
Every day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Holy days of obligation have their own times.
Mass
- Sunday 10:00 Mass
Bank holidays follow the Sunday pattern. Holy days of obligation are listed separately.
Confession
When
- Wednesday 18:00–18:45 The confessional, by the Lady Chapel · During Adoration
- Friday 10:15–11:00 The confessional · After the morning Mass
- Saturday 10:30–11:30 The confessional
- Saturday 17:00–17:45 The confessional · Before the Vigil Mass
Or at any other time by arrangement — ring the presbytery and ask. Nobody is ever turned away, and asking is not an imposition.
If it has been a while
Then this paragraph is for you, and you are more welcome than almost anyone else who will come through the door this week.
You do not need to remember the words. Say "Bless me, Father, it has been a long time" — or simply "I don't know how to do this" — and the priest will take you through it. That is a normal way for a confession to begin and he will have heard it already this month.
You do not need to list everything perfectly. Say what you have come to say. Nobody is keeping score and nothing you say will be repeated, to anyone, ever, under any circumstances.
You can be anonymous. There is a screen. Use it or don't — both are normal, and no one is watching which side of the confessional you go into.
Adoration
The Blessed Sacrament exposed, and the church silent.
- Wednesday 18:00–19:00 Exposition, ending with Benediction before Mass
- First Friday 10:00–16:00 All day, with a sign-up sheet in the porch so the Blessed Sacrament is never left alone
