Celebrating Mass Together Again

Please remember that you need to provide us with names and contact number for the benefit of Trace and Track.
As you walk up to the main doors, the steward will ask you to read the signage. Please keep two metres apart outside and inside the church. Please note that a face covering must be worn. Please be patient and wait for stewards to take you to your place.
Please remember that the Sunday Obligation to attend Mass has been removed until further notice and because we are reaching our full capacity, I ask you to consider coming to a weekday Mass which will leave the Sunday Mass for those who are working during the week.

PLEASE DO NOT COME TO MASS IF YOU ARE VULNERABLE IN ANY WAY. PLEASE STAY AT HOME IF YOU OR SOMEONE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD HAS ANY COVID19 SYMPTOMS
To book a place at either the 4.30pm or 9.30am Sunday Mass, please contact Jacqui either by email or phone from Wednesday to 3.00pm on Friday. We cannot take any bookings after those deadlines. If you so wish, you can turn up before Mass but if we reach our capacity, you will be turned away.

Holy Communion will be distributed after the final blessing. To help us in keeping you safe, a steward will invite you, one at a time, to come forward to the priest to receive the Lord. Please bring your belongings with you as you will not be able to go back to your place afterwards. After you have received Holy Communion, please exit the church through the side door, sanitising your hands as you leave.

Mass will continue to be livestreamed on sites such as (churchservices.tv, Facebook and YouTube (Fr. Paul Grady) and stcatherineandallsaints.co.uk (Fr. Gordon).

THANK YOU TO OUR STEWARDS
I am most grateful to all our stewards who have given their time to enable you to come to Mass; our church would not be able to open without them. They may ask you to do something you do not want to do or ask you to sit in a place you do not normally sit. Remember they have received their instructions directly from the guidelines issued by the Archdiocese. These are in place to keep us safe and well from Covid-19.

It will be great to celebrate Mass with you again and although Archbishop Malcolm continues to remind us that things will be different and they will not be the same as before the pandemic we continue our journey of faith together with our loving God, Our Blessed Lady, St Joseph and our Guardian Angels and the words that Jesus speaks to us at this time of uncertainty: ‘Do not be afraid’ and ‘Peace be with you.’

Keeping you all in prayer . Fr. Kieran
