About Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Maiden Lane

Corpus Christi Catholic Church is situated in the heart of London in Covent Garden. Opened in 1874, it is the Diocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament.

Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Maiden Lane Description

The Parish of Maiden Lane is situated in the Westminster Deanery. It was founded in 1873 and consecrated on the 18th of October, 1956. Often referred to as the “hidden gem” of the West End, the then Archbishop Cardinal Henry Manning said during his homily at the opening mass that “a sanctuary has been opened to be specifically devoted to the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament”.

This was the first church dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament after the Reformation. The famous hymns Sweet Sacrament Divine and O Sacred Heart were written by the parish priest Fr Francis Stanfield (1835-1914). It is also known as “the actors’ church” and is the home of the Catholic Association of the Performing Arts (formerly, the Catholic Stage Guild).

A very famous priest visitor to the parish over many years was Monsignor Ronald Knox. He first preached his Forty Hours Sermon in 1926, at the invitation of Father Kearney. This became a regular feature in Mgr Knox’s diary from 1926 until 1956. These sermons were published BY Burns and Oates in 1956 under the title “The Window in the
Wall”, and the charming and touching dedication of this book is, “To the memory of Father Kearney and to his successors. ”

On Thursday 18th October (this week) we will be celebrating the anniversary of the consecration of the church. In accordance with the Tradition of the Church, a Plenary Indulgence is available for you to apply to yourself or any soul in Purgatory. To gain this indulgence, all you need to do is come to Corpus Christi on Thursday, go to Confession, receive Holy Communion and pray for the intentions of the Holy Father by praying one Our Father and one Hail Mary. That may sound like rather a lot to do, but you have a few days after Thursday to get it all done for the Indulgence to apply. What a nice treat for the middle of October!

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Walsingham. Mass today is at 1:05pm in the Lady Chapel.
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon England thy "Dowry" and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee. By thee it was that Jesus our Saviour and our hope was given unto the world; and He has given thee to us that we might hope still more. Plead for us thy children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the supreme Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith fruitful in good works we may all deserve to see and praise God, together with thee, in our heavenly home. Amen.

I was delighted to see how the Church looks last time I was in London. When I was teaching at the City Lit, I used to attend the Extra-ordinary Form Mass on Monday evenings. I am convinced that this was an integral element in my spiritual life that nurtured my calling to the priesthood.

Have a special place in my heart for this lovely church and have visited many times over last 25 years, an oasis of spirituality amid the hustle and bustle of Covent Garden. Try to attend Latin Mass on Mondays whenever possible.

User

Corpus Christi Church is a sanctuary in the heart of the city and offers Catholic's an opportunity to experience the powerfull spiritual beauty of a traditional full Latin Mass. Praise God for this hidden gem!
