Good to be back!

 

We are making cautious adjustments following the lifting of legal restrictions and we hope to make further adjustments in the weeks ahead but always with a view to the safety of those attending mass. So from now on, in Church we ask that you:

 

·      Continue to wear masks on Sundays unless you are in lots of space or are exempt. You may cause concern for others if you don’t

·      Continue to cleanse your hands on entry to the Church.

·      Socially distance 1metre. In other words, sit wherever you like but keep a space between yourself and anyone else that is not in your bubble!

·      For Holy Communion please all join the procession down the central aisle.

·      Follow the usual procedures for the Offertory.

·      Continue to follow the Track and Trace procedures at weekend masses but not weekday mass.

·      The longer Gloria and Creed should now be recited at Weekend masses.

·      Wear masks at weekday masses, ONLY IF NECESSARY. 

·      Hymn books are being reintroduced, but please replace them on the table you take them from.

·      Frequently used non-absorbent “touch points” will be cleansed after mass.

·      The Hall will open after the 10.30 mass on August 8th for refreshments.

·      Parish Mass books will be reintroduced when it is safe to do so.

 

One more Confirmation is taking place this weekend. Congratulations to Hannah Hansford. Thanks again to our patient team of catechists.

 

God Bless
