The church will be sanitised between the 9.30am and 11.00am services and all Masses
are COVID-19 compliant. We are adhering to social distancing rules and at the time of writing (28.1.21) congregation members are advised:-
• Numbers are limited so please obey the Stew-
ards and follow the one - way system.
• Please keep social distance (1 metre +) and
wear a face covering or mask.
• During the Mass, Holy Communion will be
brought to you in your place by the Priest or Eucharistic Minister. Please stand if you wish to receive, on the hand only with arms ex- tended fully. No personal “Amen” is spoken.
• Music will be played by the organist. There is no singing except by the cantor.
• Track and Trace: please continue to give your details upon entry, some are bringing pre-completed forms which saves time. The Diocese are sorting out NHS QR posters for us to scan with our phones which, again, should speed things up.
Numbers in Church
For regular Masses: keeping to 1 metre plus (including masks) as many as we can safely accommodate (households can sit together, maximum 6). Baptisms: 10 persons, Weddings: 15 persons, Funerals: 30 persons.
