Dear All,
I hope you’ve all had great summers and are mentally and spiritually refreshed. I know that many of you went to Madrid for World Youth Day or to the Youth 2000 festival in Walsingham. But if that wasn’t enough for you, there’s plenty going on this autumn at the Corpus Christi Prayer Group and beyond.

Corpus Christi Prayer Group
After our summer break the Corpus Christi Prayer Group will be meeting once again from this Wednesday, and what better way to begin the autumn, than to Celebrate Mass together! We’ve got plenty planned for the next few months, so would be great to see you all along. As ever, we meet every week in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, from 7pm.
Wednesday 7th September, 7pm – Celebration of Mass
We will be welcoming Fr Jacob to our prayer group tonight to lead us in the celebration of Mass together. Come and join us from 7pm for the rosary, after which we will celebrate Mass together. Perhaps it’s an extra special grace that this is the vigil of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary! What a great opportunity to get our spiritual lives back in gear after the summer.
Wednesday 14th September, 7pm – Eucharistic Healing Service
Fr Angelus will be leading us in a time of prayer for healing. In this time of special grace, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed, with the opportunity to come forward and receive a personal blessing.
Wednesday 21st September, 7pm – Adoration, Prayer and Praise
An evening of prayer, worship, meditation and contemplation in front of the Blessed Sacrament. We will begin with the rosary from 7pm.
Wednesday 28th September, 7pm – ‘Praying with St Therese of Lisieux’ – An evening of guided meditation and catechesis led by Margaret Toth
An evening of meditation and contemplation, inspired by the ‘Little Flower.’ We are excited that Margaret Toth, who is currently completing her PhD on St Therese in Rome, will be joining us to lead us in our prayer this evening.
Wednesday 5th October, 7pm – Celebration of Mass
Come and join us as we celebrate Mass together for the first Wednesday of the Month. Fr Anthony Doe will be joining us to lead us in our celebration this evening.
Wednesday 12th October, 7pm – ‘Edward the Confessor – Sovereign and Saint’ – An evening of prayer and meditation led by Sr Mary Trinity SOLT
We are delighted that Sr Mary Trinity will be able to join us again at our prayer group. This is the vigil of the feast day of St Edward the Confessor, and our prayer this evening will explore St Edward as an example of Christian living. Sr Mary Trinity is coming from Wales to tell us about this canonised Saxon King of England, so would be great if as many can come as possible to show our appreciation.
