Upcoming Masses

The Sodality celebrates a Mass every month at Corpus Christi, Maiden Lane, which will be offered for members’ intentions. Each month there is a different guest preacher who will offer a reflection on a certain aspect of the Blessed Sacrament. At the end of Mass, there is a period of Adoration, followed by Benediction, after which will follow a social event at a nearby pub or restaurant.

The Masses are usually on the First Thursday of the month at 6:30pm, though there may be some exceptions to this, as noted in the schedule below. Masses will also be live streamed at maidenlane.org.uk/live
