Tonight – Monday 21st April 2025 – at 6:30pm there will be a Requiem Missa Cantata according to the Missal of 1962 at Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Maiden Lane.

The Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster has granted an indult, permitting a Requiem Mass during this Easter Octave for the repose of the soul of His Holiness, Pope Francis, who died this morning, and there will be prayers offered at the end of the Mass for his eternal happiness.

The music will be by The Southwell Consort and will be Victoria’s Requiem.

Deus, qui inter summos Sacerdotes famulum tuum Franciscum ineffabili tua dispositione connumerari voluisti: praesta, quaesumus, ut qui unigeniti Filii tui vices in terris gerebat, sanctorum tuorum Pontificum consortio perpetuo aggregetur.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
