The Scriptures

The usual translation of the Scriptures used at Mass in England and Wales is the English Standard Version - Catholic Edition. This was introduced into the Liturgy in Advent 2024. 

The readings for Mass can be found on the Universalis website.

​The readings for the coming week are freely available on that Website. You can also take out a subscription which gives you access on your PC/Tablet or smartphone to the readings for each day of the year, and the full texts of the Prayer of the Church, including the celebrations particular to the Archdiocese of Birmingham

An on-line searchable app is available that for the English Standard Version, though this does not contain all the books of the Old Testament, as contained in a Catholic Bible, only those included in a Protestant Bible.

A guide to buying a Bible is available here. 
​
Our Parish Scripture Group comes together once a month at 8pm on Wednesday evenings to reflect on the readings set for the Sundays of, usually, the coming month. Click on link for readings set for the next meeting.
