Pope Francis’ Prayer to Mary during the coronavirus pandemic
O Mary,
you always shine on our path
as a sign of salvation and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick,
who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm.
You, Salvation of the Roman People,
know what we need,
and we are sure you will provide
so that, as in Cana of Galilee,
we may return to joy and to feasting
after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father
and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who has taken upon himself our sufferings
and carried our sorrows
to lead us, through the cross,
to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen

Please be assured that priests are celebrating Mass everyday for the people of the parish and for various intentions requested. These are being updated weekly through our parish newsletter, and you are welcome to access it through our parish website.
The aim of our website is to provide all parishioners,
whether you are new to the parish or have been with us for some time,
with the very latest and most up to date information available of events
and notices in and around our parish. We will publish details of the history
of the church, a calendar of forthcoming meetings concerning the parish
and contact details. We hope that the website will give new comers to
Southam and the surrounding villages a clear insight into the family that
is Our Lady of Saint Wulstan Church in Southam and we invite all to visit
the site and comment accordingly.
