About
'Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Maiden Lane is the Westminster Diocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament, situated in the heart of Covent Garden in central London. Opened in 1874 by Cardinal Manning, the church has recently undergone extensive restoration and was reopened in 2018 by Cardinal Nichols. The Church is open every day from 7:30am - approx. 7pm, with daily Mass, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Confessions. Also known as the Actors' Church, this 'hidden gem' of Covent Garden is a sanctuary of prayerful peace and calm amidst the chaos of a busy city. Mgr Ronald Knox preached here for many years and the church also features in Graeme Greene's novel 'The End of the Affair'. Corpus Christi is open to all.'
