COVID-19 National Autumn Lockdown
|
We have now entered lockdown which, despite the strongest of representations from our bishops, means that public worship is now prohibited up to and including Wednesday 2 December 2020, which is the planned date for lockdown to come to an end. We earnestly hope to reopen for 10:00 Mass on Thursday 3 December 2020.
Commencing Monday 9 November 2020, the church will be open for private prayer only from 09:30 to 11:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. This is dependent upon the continued availability of stewards, without whom we shall be unable to open. Please note that you will need to complete a Track and Trace form when attending for private prayer. |
If you would like to volunteer to be a steward, and if are able to help sanitise the church after each use, please contact the parish office. You must be aged 18 or over and not have symptoms of COVID, whether actual or suspected.
At least two Masses will be said each day, without a congregation present.
The Obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains suspended by our Bishops. The Archdiocese has recently updated the list of parishes that offer Mass online. It may be found here.
Confessions have also been cancelled until further notice.

November is the month of The Souls in Purgatory
The souls in purgatory are suffering a great deal, and they cannot pray for themselves. They are our brothers and sisters, and as members of the body of Christ, we must pray and offer sacrifices for those who have gone before us, asking that they may rest in the light of God’s presence.
