Newsletter

Dear Parishioners, this weekend we continue our Cemetery Blessings and we will be at St Paul’s Cemetery. We will meet at the Chapel for a short prayer service and then move to individual family graves for blessings. The following weeks will be at London Road and then Lenton’s Lane. We have begun the Open Meetings for the Deanery with Bishop Richard Walker and this last week we met for the parishes around St Thomas More’s and Sacred Heart. This coming week we have the meetings for Nuneaton and we have our own area meeting at 7.00pm on Thursday 17th October. This is a very important meeting for the future of the parish and our working closely with neighbouring parishes. Please make every effort to attend, especially if you are involved in any one of the many parish groups and activities. It would be good to have read the Future Planning Leaflet that we distributed a couple of weeks ago as a preparation for the meeting. More copies are available at the back of the church. Our local MP, Taiwo Owatemi will be holding a clinic on Friday 18th October from 4.00pm to 6.00pm. You may have matters you want to discuss with her.  Fr Benedict has produced a short training video for our Ministers,…..Fr Tom

All Night Adoration

Over the last year the parish has established the practice of monthly all night adoration. It is a beautiful time of silent prayer in church and we are grateful for the good numbers who have supported this initiative. Moving forward, the adoration will be linked to the First Friday and First Saturdays devotion. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed from 7.30pm on the First Friday of each month, and Christ the
King Church will be open for silent prayer until 7am on Saturday morning (access via the carpark side door). Confessions will be available between 7.30pm and 9pm. For more information please contact the parish office.
