FIRST SATURDAYS
The devotion of the First Saturdays in honour of the Immaculate Heart of Mary has started in our Parish in January. It will take place on the first Saturdays after the 5pm Mass – the next one will be on 1st December. After the final blessing, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed, the Rosary will be prayed and 15-minute meditation will be read/played. It will conclude with Benediction. There will be an opportunity for Confessions, apart from usual morning times on Fridays and Saturdays, on the first Saturdays 30 minutes before the evening Mass. More details about this devotion and required conditions can be found here.

BEHAVIOUR IN CHURCH
It is heartening to see parishioners obey God’s command to ‘Keep holy the Sabbath’ and answer His invitation to celebrate the Eucharist in the holy Mass.
Jesus said: ‘Let the children come to me’
so it is also pleasing to have many children attend.
However, with regret,
a reminder of the standards of behaviour within church has become necessary.

Since 1855, SS. Mary and John's Church has served as a witness to the Catholic Faith in the heart of the City of Wolverhampton. As a Parish with such a rich heritage, our Community continues this witness today. Going forward, our vibrant, multicultural congregation truly reflects the Universal nature of the Catholic Church. Holy Mass is celebrated here every day by the Pauline Fathers (OSPPE), who faithfully serve our Parish. Visitors and new Parishioners are always welcome and we look forward to seeing you in our Church.
