Mass and Liturgies at the Shrine

In recent months, we have been reflecting on the regular weekly timetable at the Shrine, considering what works best for our pilgrims, both for groups and individuals, and have decided to introduce a revision of the times offered by the Shrine, beginning on January 1st 2025. This is particularly to sort out the Saturday programme where, at the moment, our pilgrims do not come together as a group until 6.00pm that evening, then, after a hurried supper, meet again for a Homily, Procession of Our Lady and Benediction that evening. By that time, most groups are more than half way through their time with us. It enables us to make proper provision for Day Pilgrims who currently have their own Sung Mass on Saturdays at 12 noon and to cater for the many casual visitors every day. It also deals with the anomaly that the Pilgrim Mass on Wednesdays is currently at a different time from everything else.

 

Our timetable therefore will be as follows:

Daily programme

8am               Morning Prayer

12 noon         Mass (8.30am on Sundays which will be livestreamed)

2.30pm          Sprinkling (Easter to end October)

5.00pm          Mass. Guild of All Souls Chapel (4.30pm first Sunday of the month)

5.30pm          Evening Prayer

6.00pm          Shrine Prayers (livestream)

 

The following Pilgrimage programme is held in addition to above when pilgrimage groups are resident
