of Our Lord
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MASS
Please note that in this form of the Mass, the Church asks us to receive Holy Communion on the tongue and – if physically able – kneeling. Confessions are available before and after Mass. Refreshments are available in the church hall after Mass – please come and join us, especially if this is your first visit to Christ the King.
STANDING ORDERS
All but £50 of our Latin Mass collection money goes to support Christ the King Parish. If you would like to help to ensure the continuing presence of the FSSP at Bedford, please consider setting up a standing order to them. These need to be set up by you through your bank: account name: FSSP England (Reading); sort code 30-93-04; account number 02027330. Gift Aid forms are also available by request. Thank you.
UNWANTED CHRISTMAS PRESENTS?
Bring them along after Mass next week to the Sales Table for a Grand Epiphany Sale! Many thanks to all who buy from the Sales Table – the support of our priests is supplemented by £50 – £100 per month in this way.

On Saturday 10 November at 12 noon, there will be a High Mass of Reparation for the Irish Referendum decision at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Church of the Holy Child and St Joseph, Brereton Road, Bedford, organised by the Latin Mass Society and the Guardians of the Shrine. The Mass will be in the presence of the Miraculous Relic Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, whose home is at the Shrine, and one of whose titles is “Protectress of the Unborn”.
The Shrine is just a few minutes’ walk from both bus and train stations, and from the Ashburnham Road Long Stay car park at the junction of Ashburnham Road and Midland Road, where you can park all day for £2.50.
Fr Patrick O’Donohue FSSP is the celebrant and he will also give the homily. Music will be provided by Matthew Schellhorn and other singers from Oxford. The Guardians of the Shrine have organised refreshments in the Guild Room behind the church after the Mass.
High Masses are rare and this is a chance to hear one right on your doorstep if you are in the Bedford area. Many people will be coming to a Latin Mass for the first time ever, or after many years. Let us pray for a holy and happy occasion which will show that the Old Rite is truly alive, well and flourishing in Bedford.
