All Public Masses and Services Suspended at
St John Vianney and the church is now closed until further notice WelcomeWelcome to the website of the Catholic Parish of Saint John Vianney,
located in Mount Nod, just on the edge of the City of Coventry. Dear loving brothers and sisters in Christ, on Pentecost Sunday we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the birth of the Church. The Spirit gave them the courage and strength to proclaim the Good News and bring Christ to the world. Our Church exists to evangelise and bring the Gospel to others. I am sure that the current pandemic has given many people food for thought about life and the gift of faith. As Christians our lives are rooted in the person of Jesus Christ who saves and restores us, bringing us to share in the life of God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Today, let's pray for the people who have shared the gift of faith with us. Let's also pray for the people who we have the opportunity to share the gift of faith with, especially our family and friends and those in our community. May the gift of the Holy Spirit that we have received be renewed and strengthened in our lives. “Come O Holy Spirit fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth. O God who has taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that by the same Spirit, we may be always truly wise and ever rejoice in his consolation. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.” |
Following the Prime Minister’s historic announcement on the 23 March strengthening restrictions in an attempt to combat the spread of COVID-19, Catholic Churches are closed to the public at this time.

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY
Corpus Christi : 14 June
Make an Act of Spiritual Communion– This can be done whilst you watch a live stream of Mass being offered.
You can make an act of Spiritual Communion by saying the following prayer:
“My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.”
Sacrament of Reconciliation
The Sacrament cannot be celebrated over the telephone or by conference call. A pastoral conversation and reassuring prayer may of course take place by these means. Requests for individual confession are very difficult to meet, given the demands of staying at home, social distancing and church closure. Priests must refuse such requests for these reasons.
An Act of Contrition
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Saviour Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.
