Congratulations to our five adult converts who were received into the Church last Friday and made their First Holy communion last weekend, and to our 19 candidates who received the Sacrament of Confirmation from Archbishop McMahon last Saturday. So many graces! Thank you to all those who helped make this possible: His Grace who came from Liverpool again this year; Fr Whisenant for the very hard work put in preparing the many candidates; Fr Verrier who drove back a long […]
After our very well attended afternoon of Adoration and Confession on 27th June, we are pleased to announce that a further similar afternoon will take place at Christ the King, Bedford, on Saturday 1st August from 3 pm – 6 pm. We very much appreciate the attendance of our FSSP priests from Reading to enable this to happen. In addition, many people are working hard behind the scenes to ensure that all the necessary conditions are met to ensure the […]
NB: While the booking system is the preferred option, it is not an absolute requirement to book seats in order to come to Mass. However, those who do not book stand the very real risk of disappointment if the church building has reached its capacity, especially as priority should be given to those who have booked.
On Saturday 1st August from 3pm to 6pm, adoration will take place at the church of Christ the King in Bedford.
On Saturday 25th July from 12pm to 4pm, adoration will take place at the church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour in Chesham Bois.
in a Field Hospital Newly released book by Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP https://aroucapress.com/x-ray-of-the-priest Since no priest wishes to be mediocre, why do many think priestly holiness too ambitious a goal? This book identifies sinful hindrances and spiritual resources for a fruitful and rewarding priestly life in the twenty-first century. These reflections are drawn from the author’s traditional priestly formation and from his twenty years of experience as retreat master for clergy and laity, and as vocations promoter. Praise for […]

It was wonderful to see so many of our parishioners last Sunday in Reading, Chesham Bois and Bedford and we are pleased that the new, hopefully temporary, arrangements for our Masses all went smoothly. Our sincere thanks to those who are involved in our booking procedures and stewarding. Our arrangements are liable to be tweaked, due to a steady stream of updated guidelines from both civil and ecclesiastical authorities and in order to enable things to work more efficiently. The first tweak we are making regards our booking system for Sunday Masses.
