Some 110 people from far and wide came to the Latin Mass of Reparation for Abortion at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe today. This was a significant increase on the number who came to the same event last year. Celebrant Fr Patrick O’Donohue, FSSP, gave a inspiring homily on Life and how we should consider how better to support it. He was supported in the sanctuary by Fr Gabriel Diaz as Deacon, making a welcome return to Bedford, […]
On Sunday 24th November the Superior General of the FSSP, Fr Andrzej Komorowski, will celebrate the first Fraternity Mass in the Parish of Faithlegg, Waterford.
Just to remind you of the Solemn High Mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Bedford this coming Saturday at 12 noon. This will be a wonderful and rare opportunity to see and hear the Latin Mass at its very best. Sacred Ministers, servers and singers are coming from Reading, London and Oxford to take part in this act of reparation for the many millions of abortions which have taken place in this country since 1967. 86 […]
The Catholic Children’s Society is running this Christmas appeal for families in need in this country. “Without you this family would not have had a Christmas” said one grateful recipient. The idea is that you cover a shoebox with Christmas paper and fill it with gifts suitable for a boy or girl of a particular age and return it to a collection point by a certain date – in our case, Christ the King by 8th December. The visiting FSSP […]

A new choir for children is starting at our Bedford apostolate.
“They really were excellent” said Katherine Smith of the five children who came along to the first meeting of the children’s choir at Christ the King yesterday. They started learning the hymn ‘Rorate Coeli’ which hopefully they will be able to sing at Communion on Advent Sunday. They looked at the English translation of the hymn and discussed words such as ‘iniquity, ‘desolation’ and ‘sanctification’, thus getting some incidental catechesis! It is hoped that more children will join them next […]
This Catholic group meets on the 2nd Saturday of each month in the Patrick Donegan Room at 7pm. This month’s meeting is on 9th November and the topic is “Are we all equal in Catholicism?” There will be two short talks, open floor discussion, prayer and refreshments. Open to all Catholics aged 18+. Come and learn more about ‘hot topics’ of the Faith so you can increase your own faith and explain key issues to others.
We are very fortunate at Christ the King to have been joined recently by Neville McNally. Neville has recently moved into the area and is making Christ the King his spiritual home. He is experienced in Gregorian Chant and has joined the adult schola, for which he has been recruiting! However, he has also suggested that we start a children’s choir. We would begin gently and the choir would sing a short piece at the Offertory or during Communion. Katherine […]
