IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Attending Mass During Level 4 Restrictions

Dear Parishioners,

We have now moved to Level 4 and so the maximum number of worshippers at any one Mass is 20 people.

Therefore, over the next three weeks these will be the arrangements:-

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MOBILE PHONE BOOKING LINE ON A FRIDAY EVENING IS SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

And so, during this time of Level 4, perhaps if you can, avoid the weekend Masses and come once to a weekday Mass as a way of being faithful to coming to Mass once a week.

This Tuesday 24^th November at 9.30am there is the Requiem Mass of Mrs. Mary Watson nee Heron and this Mass is restricted to 20 family members and friends.

PLEASE DO  ALL YOU CAN WHEN COMING TO MASS TO KEEP YOURSELF AND EVERYBODY SAFE

1. Sanitise your hands as you enter and leave the Church
2. Please keep 2 metre social distance at all times, especially when moving around the Church
3. Please leave the Church as soon and as quickly after receiving Holy Communion
4. Please do not congregate either in the porch or in the car park before and after Mass

Thank you for your help, assistance and co-operation in these difficult times. Let us continue to hold one another in prayer.

With Thoughts and Prayers,

Father Desmond
