EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT will be from 6.45pm until just before the 7.15pm Mass on Thursdays during Eastertide. This should help us to focus on the Easter mystery as the source and origin of the sacramental life of the Church. Do come – it will be an excellent preparation for the Mass.

FR PAUL BURCH has ceased ministry in the Church of England and has begun a period of preparation, with his family and a number of his parishioners in Coventry, to be received into the Roman Catholic Church at Easter, under the norms for the new Ordinariate for former Anglicans. He will be ordained deacon in the RC Church on Monday 6th June and priest on Sunday 12th June. Please pray for him and for all concerned, as they begin this new stage of their pilgrimage.
