Welcome to our parish website

The parish of St Nicholas, Boldmere 
is established in the Archdiocese of Birmingham to support the life in faith of the Catholics of Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield, and to assist us in our mission of sharing the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

We are part of the Catholic Sutton Coldfield cluster of parishes, together with Holy Cross and St Francis, Walmley; Sacred Heart, Four Oaks; Holy Trinity, Sutton Coldfield.

The Archdiocese of Birmingham has been called by Archbishop Bernard to a process of discernment and renewal, Unfolding God's Plan​. We are all urged to play our part.

​You can read more about what is happening in the Archdiocese here, and in the cluster of Catholic Sutton Coldfield here.
Reading and praying with Scripture
The readings for Sunday Mass, together with some of the prayers, are included in our weekly newsletter. You might read and pray with them - alone or with family or friends, within your household or in a Zoom-gathering. 
  • Read the readings slowly and carefully.
  • Do not be distracted by names and places and references that are unfamiliar.
  • Listen for the emotional heart of the reading. Where is the love of God in this? What does it challenge? What does it encourage?
  • Bring your thoughts and reflections to God as you bring your prayer to a close.
​The readings for Mass each day in the week ahead can be found here. (Those who use the link regularly will find it more convenient if they are able to load the Universalis App on a PC, Tablet, or smart-phone (or all three!). Details of the one-off payment necessary are given on the link above.


The Parish at prayer on-line
You can join with the parish for prayer on-line 
  • Each morning (Monday to Saturday) at 8.30am Morning Prayer will be offered. This form of prayer is largely based on poetical texts from the Old Testament (psalms and canticles). The texts used will be provided on the screen - no access to books is necessary.
