As we are unable to come to church use the resources available here to enable you to pray at home...​

A People who Hope in Christ  - A Message from the Archbishops of England and Wales - May 2020
​
Many parishes in our Diocese will be streaming their weekday and weekend Masses. Have a look at https://www.churchservices.tv/

We have recently set up a Facebook page called St Giles Catholic Family and we will try to keep you up to date with what's happening in the Catholic community. Also locally look up the Facebook pages of Parish of St Teresa of the Child Jesus, Trent Vale and the North Staffs Deanery. where there will be regular live Masses and reflections.

In the meantime you can join find daily prayers and readings at Readings of the Day

​An Act of Spiritual Communion can help us especially when we cannot receive Holy Communion. No matter what your day is like, Jesus can help make it better, or at least more bearable, if you ask him for His help and guidance in prayers such as this one,
​composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori:  

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.  I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.  I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You.  Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
 
The Guardian Angel Prayer we are praying each day at 5.30pm or another time.
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love entrusts me here.
Ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide.  Amen.
