LATEST: Under the new lockdown rules from 5th January 2021,
THE CHURCH IS OPEN FOR PUBLIC WORSHIP Communal worship and life events: - You can leave home to attend or visit a place of worship for communal worship, a funeral or event related to a death, a burial ground or a remembrance garden, or to attend a wedding. - You should follow the guidance on the safe use of places of worship and must not mingle with anyone outside of your household or support bubble when attending a place of worship. - Weddings, funerals and religious, belief-based or commemorative events linked to someone’s death are all subject to limits on the numbers that can attend, and weddings and civil ceremonies may only take place in exceptional circumstances."(https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/949536/NationalLockdownGuidance.pdf) VOLUNTEERS NEEDED We need volunteers to be stewards and to clean the church at every Mass. We rely heavily on your good will, kindness and precious time. If we don’t have enough volunteers to keep everyone safe, the church won’t be open for worship. If you are not deemed vulnerable (over 70 years, and/or with certain pre-existing health conditions) and would like to help, please contact the parish (by email or phone) to get more information. |
