Statement from the Catholic Bishops' Conference - LINK

Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Catholic Parish of Saint John Vianney,
​located in Mount Nod, just on the edge of the City of Coventry. 

THANK YOU 

I would personally like to thank all the Stewards, Altar Servers, Cleaners, Maintenance, Flower Arrangers, Johanne, Andy, Mac and Michelle for all their hard work they have done in what can only be described as an extraordinary year and all it has entailed.
I would especially like to thank all the Parishioners who have stood by the Parish
this year and for all your kind support and good wishes this Christmas season. 
Finally, I would like to thank Fr Emmanuel and Fr Bengt
for all their unwavering support and kindness.
​I pray that next year we will all be reunited and can return to Church.

May I wish you all a Happy, Holy and Prosperous 2021.

Fr Sebastian

COVID UPDATE  We continue to open our Church doors for public worship.  For those unable to attend All Masses will be live-streamed (as shown in the newsletter) through our Church YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=olasjvcov 
The Prime Minister has announced a further lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus and to protect our NHS which is running almost to capacity. The new government guidelines have not included the closure of our churches and therefore we are allowed to continue with the celebration of Mass provided we continue to follow the guidance of our stewards and that we do all we can not to mingle within the church grounds.
​
PLEASE REMEMBER:
IT IS NOW MANDATORY FOR A FACE COVERING TO BE WORN WHEN ATTENDING PRIVATE PRAYER.
SOCIAL DISTANCING MUST BE MAINTAINED WHILST ON CHURCH PERMISES.

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 one of the following prayers: ​
Spiritual Communion Prayer for Lent

​
Lord Jesus Christ,
Living Word of God,
during this holy season,
we unite ourselves with your desert experience of fasting and prayer.
Consecrate our Lenten practices,
satisfy our hunger 
with the food of your Body
made present on this altar.

Amen.
​Prayer of Spiritual Communion for the Year of St Joseph (2021)

​Jesus Christ, our Redeemer,
Son of God and Son of Mary,
through the intercession of St Joseph,
your earthly Guardian and guardian of the Church,
unite us with the gift of your Real presence,
your Sacrament and Sacrifice,
which feeds your Church along the path of holiness.

Amen.


​Prayer of Spiritual Communion
(St Alphonsus Liguori)


My Jesus,
I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all things
and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul
so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever.

Amen.
​​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 confessions are held after Mass on Wednesday's Friday and Saturday's. Please speak to on of the stewards.


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.
