MASS TIMES

"Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?" (I Corinthians 10.16)

The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life." "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Passover." (Catechism 1324)

RECONCILIATION (CONFESSION)

There is the opportunity for Confession at St Francis Hall, from 1.40pm to 2.00pm, Monday to Friday. At Newman House, Confessions are available after Sunday Mass.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

"He is there! He who loves us so much!" (St John Mary Vianney)

Silent Eucharistic Adoration takes place in Fr Julian's room at St Francis Hall on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 12noon to 1.00pm. You don't have to come for the whole hour, though you are, of course, welcome to do so. Just drop in for five minutes if that's all the time you have got.

THE PRAYER OF THE CHURCH

The Prayer of the Church is the official prayer of the Catholic Church with different 'hours', that is, services that are made up of psalms, readings and prayers, linked to specific times of the day. We pray the Prayer of the Church at Newman House chapel each morning and night and at other times too:

Morning Prayer is at 8.15am, Monday to Friday, and at 8.45am on Sundays.

Night Prayer is at 10.00pm each night.
