Mass and Confession times
Masses: Sunday 18:15 (Mass of Anticipation), 08:30, 11:30 and 17:00 and Monday to Saturday 10:00
Confessions: Saturday after 10:00 Mass until 11:30.
Confessions: Saturday after 10:00 Mass until 11:30.
Track & Trace Forms still apply. It is important that we continue using Track and Trace forms every time we visit the church, even if attending twice in one day. The use of these forms enabled us to contact everybody concerned prior to the closure back in January.
Should you have or suspect you have symptoms, and you have attended St. Bartholomew's (or any other church), it is vital that you arrange a NHS test, either online or by calling 119. You must provide details of your attendance at church as one of your contacts - they can then contact us directly which speeds up the process of tracing everybody who needs to know.
Face coverings remain mandatory. Stewards will be on duty (see appeal below). NHS & Public Health guidelines apply. The Obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains suspended by our Bishops.

Appeal for Stewards
We rely on a small number of parishioners to steward at all Masses and to sanitise the church afterwards. If ever there are insufficient people to perform this ministry, we may have to cancel Masses without notice, as it is a condition of being able to open that we have stewards available. Please consider putting yourself forward to add to our team of stewards. You must be 18 or over and free from symptoms of COVID, whether actual or suspected. Please contact Father Deo if you are interested and indeed well enough to take on this role. If you have not been a steward before, you will be shown what you need to do.

March is the month of Saint Joseph
St. Joseph is the icon of God the Father: silent but active and perfectly providing for the needs of all. The Church constantly invokes the protection of St. Joseph, admonishing us to ite ad Joseph, go to Joseph.
