10-12 May
In recent years, we have come to enjoy a tradition of celebrating 40 Hours Adoration, or Quarant’ore, in this period of Eastertide. (Last year we offered a chance for all to get involved in celebrating this at the time, just before the Conclave, when the meeting of the Cardinals to choose a new pope took place.) It is a chance to sit in silence before the true presence of Christ, and quietly to pray for ourselves, our loved ones and the world around us, and especially for Peace. 
We look to start after the 9.30am Mass next Sunday in St John’s and continue until 10.00pm.
Then 5.30am on Monday in St John’s (a special sort of silence usually only broken by the sound of bird song from the park next door) until 2.15pm (the Healing Mass) and from 3.45pm until 10.00pm.
Finally, from 5.30am on Tuesday till 10.00am in St John’s, 10.00am till 2.00pm in St Mary Magdalene’s, 2.00pm till 6.45pm pm in the Prayer Room in the Parish House, and 7.30pm till 10.00pm in St John’s Church
Can you offer an hour to sit before the Lord?
Can you offer a few hours to help welcome and ‘manage’ the various buildings during this time?
Please let us know. Sign-up sheets will be available after each Mass.’
