Mass took place as usual at Christ the King on Sunday 5th June, with 52 attendees including many new faces. Based on the success of the Corpus Christi Mass, we’re also planning another weekday Mass, as well as some more parish activities. Watch this space!
Time Stood Still at Bedford
The sun shone over Christ the King Church, Bedford on the evening of Corpus Christi as we gathered to celebrate our first weekday Latin Mass. The congregation was similar in size to that of Sunday mornings at around 50 people. We were joined on this occasion by some of our confirmation candidates who normally meet on a Thursday evening and who had been invited to come as part of their Catholic education. Fr Anton Webb of the Oxford Oratory, who […]
Corpus Christi – First weekday Mass at Christ the King
Ten months after our first Mass in August 2015, our congregation on Sunday mornings is regularly around 50 which is most encouraging and we are grateful to our four visiting priests, Frs Aldritt, Crean, Diaz and Horgan. Another priest, Fr Webb, who is not able to come on Sundays, has kindly offered to celebrate a weekday Mass and we have arranged the first one, with a procession of the Blessed Sacrament, on the evening of Corpus Christi, Thursday 26 May […]
Old Rite Mass still going strong!
A month certainly passes quickly! Mass in Bedford has continued to be very well attended – with plans for a Corpus Christi Mass and procession for 26th May. More details to follow!
Latin Mass in the hall
With thanks to Barbara for the post! An unusual set of circumstances led to the Latin Mass at Bedford being said in the church hall on Sunday 10 April. Our visiting celebrant, Fr Diaz, was delayed for an hour, which meant that the 8.30 am Latin Mass would have run into the 10 am Novus Ordo Mass in the church. So we moved to the church hall, bringing all the necessary Mass items possible from the church. It was not […]
Mass times
The Traditional Latin Mass (designated Extraordinary Form) is celebrated at Christ the King Catholic Church, Harrowden Road, Bedford, every Sunday at 08:30am.

At the Extraordinary Form, for those able to receive, Communion is received kneeling, on the tongue. For other information about this form of the […]
Christus Resurrexit!
Notwisthstanding the early start (830 am Mass ‘became’ 730am Mass due to the clocks going back), 50 of us were blessed to hear Fr. Crean’s Mass in the Dominican rite, as well as a wonderful sermon. Thankfully Nicholas managed to battle through the flu to serve!
6th March – Laetare Sunday
The morning frost deterred a few people but 43 still made it to hear Fr. Diaz say Mass on the fourth Sunday of Advent – Laetare Sunday. On another note, this was a very interesting article about education generally, and St. Joseph’s specifically: http://www.quadrapheme.com/st-josephs-the-answer-to-parents-prayers/
