Latest News



I’m sure everyone will be delighted that we are able to come together as a parish and celebrate the Holy Mass. It will no doubt feel very strange and different from what we are used to: we will notice the yellow & black tape, the warning notices everywhere, the hand sanitiser by the door instead of holy water, the lack of hymn books but most of all, the empty rows and gaps along the benches, and the people we would expect to see there. This is not only a consequence of the social distancing rules we must follow, but also of the fact that a significant number of our parish have to be a little more cautious about returning to daily life. If this applies to you, please do not worry as Bishop Alan has reiterated that the Sunday obligation is lifted until we are back to normal. Masses will continue to be streamed live at www.churchservices.tv.

SUPPORTING YOUR CHURCH:

Please continue to support your church at this difficult time, recognising that there are still bills to be paid regardless of whether the church is open or not. Every month we have to pay a Diocesan quota of £585 plus our everyday bills. It is estimated that we need £1,500 in order to cover our monthly outgoings..
