Goodbye and thank you, Alex and Maria!

After the Latin Mass at Christ the King on the snowy morning of Sunday 4 March 2018, it was with sadness that we said goodbye to Alex Kovacsics, his wife Maria and his children Emilia, Alexander, Adam and Albert.  It was their last Sunday with us, as they are moving back to their native Croatia.  Alex has been running a very popular and successful restaurant in Bedford town centre, but is swapping this for the more family-friendly life of setting […]

Rescheduled Visit of Bishop

Unfortunately due to the adverse weather conditions, Bishop Peter Doyle was unable to visit Christ the King, Bedford on the weekend of 3/4 March.
