Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)
April 2, 2019 ScarCathChurches
The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) is offered at all three of our churches at the times given on the home page (scroll down to to the bottom of the Mass Times), and also by request to one of our priests.
Children will make their First Confession during their course of preparation for First Holy Communion. Please click HERE for more information.
Confessions can be arranged for the Sick and Housebound. Please phone the Parish Priest on 01723 360358, or speak to your Parish Visitor.
"Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God's mercy for the offence committed against him, and are, at the same time, reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and which by charity, by example, and by prayer labours for their conversion"
It is called the Sacrament of Conversion because it makes sacramentally present Jesus' call to conversion, the first step in returning to the Father from whom one has strayed by sin.
It is called the Sacrament of Penance, since it consecrates the Christian sinner's personal and ecclesial steps of conversion, penance, and satisfaction.
It is called the Sacrament of Confession, since the disclosure or confession of sins to a priest is an essential element of this sacrament. In a profound sense it is also a "confession" – acknowledgement and praise – of the holiness of God and of his mercy toward sinful man.
It is called the Sacrament of Forgiveness, since by the priest's sacramental absolution God grants the penitent "pardon and peace."
It is called the Sacrament of Reconciliation, because it imparts to the sinner the live of God who reconciles: "Be reconciled to God."7 He who lives by God's merciful love is ready to respond to the Lord's call: "Go; first be reconciled to your brother."

WE HAVE JOINED THE GIVING MACHINE
PLEASE CONSIDER making your ONLINE PURCHASES via The Giving Machine. By doing this you can generate a donation to the parish at no extra cost to you.
You will need to register with them, naming Scarborough Catholic Parishes as your chosen 'cause'. To shop, you will need to logon to the Giving Machine website first – then go to their 'shops' page and select a store. You will be taken to the store's website where you make your purchase. The donation is generated at the point of sale. There couldn't be an easier way to give.
HOW DOES THIS WORK? Online stores pay COMMISSION to agents who direct potential customers to their site. The Giving Machine acts as such an agent, but instead of claiming the full commission for themselves they turn most of it into a donation for the customer's chosen cause. If you (the customer) pay tax, you can also opt to Gift Aid this.
Note - this commission will be paid to an agent anyway - why not opt to put it to good use!
