Holy Hour & Mass - Thursdays at 5pm


  • St Barnabas Oxford Cardigan Street Oxford United Kingdom (map)

In Lent, we will offer a new period of silent prayer and meditation on Thursday evenings. From 5pm-6pm will have Holy Hour. Holy Hour is a time of prayer and adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, placed on the altar. Rooted in Jesus’ words in Gethsemane, “Could you not watch with me one hour?” (Matthew 26:40), this special period of time invites us into deep contemplation of Christ’s presence, to foster spiritual renewal. Many experience it as a moment of intimacy with God, offering prayers of thanksgiving, petition, and repentance.

A Holy Hour strengthens faith, drawing the soul closer to Christ’s love, mercy, and sacrifice, particularly in preparation for Mass, which will follow at the end of Holy Hour.

Stay for some or all of the hour, drop in as you feel able.
