Corpus Christi Catholic Church

Corpus Christi Catholic Church is located on Maiden Lane in Covent Garden, London, England. It is the Westminster Diocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament, elevated to this status by Cardinal Nichols in 2018. The church offers daily Mass, Confession, and Adoration. Built in 1874 as an act of reparation for sins against the Blessed Sacrament during the Reformation, the church holds significant spiritual importance for Catholics worldwide. The hymns Sweet Sacrament Divine and O Sacred Heart were composed at this church by former clergy. It is known as the Actors' Church due to its connection with the Catholic Association for Performing Arts and its location near Covent Garden and the West End. Since 2023, it has also served as the London home of the Catholic Police Guild.
