We are now allowed to open the church every day for a period of private prayer. This is not yet for liturgy or any form of group prayer.
Our church will re-open on Monday 15 June for private prayer only. It will open Monday-Saturday 11am-1pm.
Parishioners must enter by the north (courtyard) door and exit by the south porch (Leigh Road). You must use hand sanitiser twice: on entering and exiting. Please only sit in the designated pews, and please observe social distancing (2 metres apart).
Please do not attend if you have had any symptoms of coronavirus in the previous 7 days, or a member of your household has in the last 14 days: please self-isolate.
Please be patient while we adjust to the new circumstances.
To open the church safely, we must have two stewards in attendance at all times the church is open. Every day, at the end of this period, we must clean the church.
We need volunteers for stewarding and cleaning each day to keep the church open. We will provide PPE (personal protective equipment). I know that you will be generous in responding to this appeal as we are very eager to visit Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
You should not come to church to volunteer if:
you should be shielding—you are vulnerable due to age or underlying health issues
you are shielding someone else—you live with someone who is vulnerable
If you can offer your services, please book a slot:
Thank you, in anticipation, for your help!
