COVID 19 INFORMATION

19TH JULY 2021

From 19 July 2021 there has been a national relaxation of Covid restrictions. Following guidance from the Catholic Bishops conference and the Archdiocese our parish will continue to maintain social distancing by only using alternate pews and encourage everyone to continue to wear a face covering when attending mass. This will allow us to begin singing together as a congregation again. If mass attendance continues to improve we will move towards reducing social distancing measures in parts of the church, but this will not take place yet. If you are clinically vulnerable or at all concerned about being in the main body of the church the nuns’ chapel will remain available.

When you arrive for mass you are encouraged to either use the Covid-19 app to check in or leave your details for track and trace purposes.

Please sanitise your hands when you arrive and leave.

You can collect a hymn book as you enter and leave this in the space provided when you exit. Hymn books will not be used again until the following week.

Please only join in with congregational singing if you are wearing a face covering.

Our dedicated volunteers have worked very hard greeting people and sanitising the pews after each mass, but this is no longer required to take place in the same way. We will still have a welcome team to assist you as you arrive at weekend masses but ask that you use the wipes available in each pew to clean the space that you have been sitting in before you leave and dispose of these on your way out.

Altar servers will be able to assist Fr George within the sanctuary again.

Although we encourage people to donate online and use gift aid, the collection will resume at offertory time.

Communion will continue to be distributed in the same way by Fr George bringing this to the congregation.

Candle stands will be available again. Please be cautious when lighting candles as alcohol hand gel is flammable.

Good ventilation will be maintained and please continue to use the one-way system where possible.
