Fostering Devotion.
“Of all Devotions, that of adoring Jesus in The Blessed Sacrament is the greatest Devotion, after The Sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most helpful to us”.
– Saint Alphonsus Liguori.
The Holy Eucharist.
The Church’s Beating Heart.
The Blessed Sacrament is the greatest gift Our Lord left to us at The Last Supper. Since its institution, The Eucharist has been the source and summit of our Catholic life.
It is the mission of The Shrine and The Sodality
to help spread the joy of this great Sacrament
to the Secular World around us.

Corpus Christi Church, Maiden Lane, London,
was Founded in 1873 by Cardinal Manning
as a Sanctuary of The Blessed Sacrament.
Since then, millions of people have passed through
the Church’s doors and encountered Jesus Christ,
The Son of God, in the “tiny White Host” in the Monstrance (Venerable Fulton Sheen).
This Church, in the heart of London, has the Adoration and Veneration of The Blessed Sacrament as its sole purpose.
Corpus Christi Church has a rich Tradition of noble
Liturgical Celebrations and pious Devotion to The Eucharist.
It was a former Parish Priest of the Parish, Fr. Francis Stanfield (1835-1914), who wrote “Sweet Sacrament Divine” – a Hymn loved by Catholics Worldwide.
Mgr. Ronald Knox preached here on the Feast of
Corpus Christi, every year from 1926 until 1956, and his Sermons were compiled in the book “The Window in the Wall”.
The Sodality Celebrates a Divine Mass every month at
Corpus Christi Church, Maiden Lane, which will be
offered for Members’ intentions.
Each month there is a different Guest Preacher, who will
offer a reflection on a certain aspect of The Blessed Sacrament. At the end of Mass, there is a period of Adoration, followed
by Benediction, after which will follow a social event at
a nearby pub or restaurant.
The Masses are usually on The First Thursday
of the Month at 6:30 p.m., though there
may be some exceptions to this.
Masses are also Live-Streamed.
