COVENTRY COACH TO MARCH FOR LIFE Join March for Life UK on Saturday 6 th September in London! The right to life underpins every other right we have and without it every other right is rendered meaningless. Abortion denies the most vulnerable in our society of their most basic right, the right to life, which is why this year’s theme is ‘Human Rights for All Humans.’ Unite with thousands of others at this family-friendly event where we recognise the value of human life from conception and stand up for all those who have been impacted by abortion. Book a seat on the Coventry coach which leaves from All Souls at 9.45am and costs £25 per person return (payment in advance). To book your seat contact Lucia at allsouls.covty@rcaob.org.uk or 02476 674161.

First Friday All Night Adoration. Over the last year the parish has established the practice of monthly all night adoration. It is a beautiful time of silent prayer in church and we are grateful for the good numbers who have supported this initiative. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed from 7.30pm on the First Friday of each month, and Christ the King Church will be open for silent prayer until 12 midnight (access via the carpark side door). Confessions will be available between 7.30pm and 9pm.
On the first Thursday of every month at St Elizabeth Eld Rd we have an adoration and blessing service from 7.30 pm – 8.30pm. We started it this year as part of our Eucharistic journey. The service takes the form of adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. We say the evening prayer of the Church in prayer, song and silent contemplation. Instead of a General Blessing we invite individuals to approach the Blessed Sacrament and ask for His Blessing. While this takes place we pray the Rosary and sing hymns as necessary.
Knights of St Columba meet every third Monday of each Month at Christ the King at 7pm. For more information on Joining contact Peter on 07565 966103.
