Church Opening Times

Please note that the church is not open to parishioners yet.

On 24th June the UK Government sanctioned the reopening of churches for worship -> Guidance. Following this the Catholic Bishops have distributed detailed guidelines for individual prayer, celebration of Mass, Holy Communion, marriages, funeral services and confessions -> Updates . Guidance for baptisms is expected soon. However, this guidance requires a significantly high level of extra precautionary measures and administration, including social distancing and limiting the number of people in church; we do need extra support from parishioners for stewarding and cleaning to achieve this. The parish team is investigating whether retired priests are willing and available, and other matters for an approved risk assessment. The safety for parishioners and the clergy must take priority, so re-opening the church will done with great caution.

It is important to reaffirm that, at present, the obligation to attend Sunday Mass and Holy Days remains suspended
