The blessing of the new Foundation Stone for the Pope John Paul II Centre by The Most Rev. Bernard Longley, Archbishop of Birmingham.

Almighty and eternal God, our heavenly Father, through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Alpha and the Omega, the uncreated living stone and unchangable foundation that is in heaven and on earth; bless + and set firm this stone to the praise and honour of your name.
Graant that all who gather in this new community centre may come to know and trust in you every day of their lives.
May the Prayers of the Immaculate Mother of God help us as we build together as God's holy people.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.
