Christ The King – Catholic Church Coventry

Welcome to our Parish Website for Christ the King & St Augustine’s.

Dear Parishioners, this weekend our First Communion children will be presented with Bibles as part of their preparation for the Sacraments. Seeing them being presented with Bibles is a reminder to us all of the importance of the Scriptures, the importance of trying to follow the Readings carefully in Mass and perhaps taking down our Bible at home and reading from time to time. When we come to Mass, we are fed both by the Eucharist and by the “Word of God”. This week our student Priest, Sean Gough will be returning to Oscott College to resume his training. He has been a great help over the last three weeks and has been very generous with his time visiting the schools, many of the parish groups and working at the hospital chaplaincy with Fr Paul Burch. We wish him well on his next stage of his training and hope that he has benefitted from his time with us, he has certainly been kept busy! I am sure that you will remember him in your prayers as he prepares to become a Deacon in the summer and please God a Priest in the summer of 2020…..….. Very Rev Canon Tom Farrell, Parish Priest.

Mass at St Chad’s Cathedral on 3rd February at 11.00am to celebrate “Marriage”. As mentioned in the Pastoral Letter from the Archbishop, there will be a Mass at St Chad’s Cathedral on 3rd February at 11.00am to celebrate “Marriage” and particularly for those celebrating significant anniversaries, or anyone preparing for marriage this coming year. There is a signup sheet at the back of the Church if you would like to attend. We have a good number already expressing interest, so there will be a coach leaving Christ the King at 9.30am to take you to the Mass and to bring you back after the Mass and the refreshments.

On Saturday, 2nd February our 6.00pm Mass will be offered for families who have lost a baby during pregnancy or in the early days after their birth. This is an initiative from the Life Charity and it will allow us to offer prayers and support families who will have been affected by a sad loss.

Lourdes May 2019. We are now in the final stages of planning for Lourdes next May. We need to have an idea of numbers, so if you are interested could you please let the office know as we need to start securing flights and hotels. The approximate price will be £675 for six nights, Full Board. We will need to have definite numbers by Friday 1st February, if you want to go so that we can book confirm places for the plane and hotel.
