Welcome
Thank you for visiting the website of the Catholic Church of The Precious Blood of Our Lord & All Souls in Coventry (usually called All Souls for short!), and welcome. We are a parish of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham working in collaboration with the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.
All Souls is a vibrant Catholic parish serving the local communities of Chapelfields and Earlsdon, west/south-west of Coventry city centre. The church building is of cathedral proportions, rising proudly above Hearsall Common, and provides a truly magnificent sacred space for God’s people to gather to worship him in the beauty of holiness. If you have never visited All Souls, we hope you will be inspired to do so. You will be very welcome.
Our mission is simply to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those we meet. We believe in the vocation and mission of the Church to bring to people the fulness of life and salvation in Jesus Christ, through the Sacraments, the Scriptures, the Teaching of the Church and Prayer.
Much like ourselves, our website is currently under reconstruction, so we apologise for what is missing. Please do let us know what you would find helpful to see here. We hope you enjoy your visit and encourage you to return often for updates. Our website is updated weekly. We also encourage you to bookmark this page and add it to your favourites folder for easy future reference.
If you are ever visiting All Souls, please do make yourself known so that we can welcome you to the parish. If you are already a parishioner, but haven’t been to church for a while, the door is always open.
May God bless you.

We appreciate that some of our parishioners may be struggling financially at this time and we pray they are getting the support they need.
However, the diocese has been receiving numerous enquiries from parishioners who would like to continue giving during this period when we cannot attend our parishes in person. We have purchased, through the diocese, a package for contactless giving via a company called Dona. We have two devices for contactless giving in church but you can also use the Donate button below to donate to All Souls parish via this website. This method of payment will also be configured so that you can also contribute to second collections.
Alternatively you can still donate to All Souls via the birmingham diocese website.
There is a donate button (top right) on the home page of the diocesan website – www.birminghamdiocese.org.uk.
From there, donations can be made to our parish via credit or debit card.
