As we begin to move out of the restrictions that have been imposed upon us over these last months, let us all be mindful of others when we come to church and attend Holy Mass. There will be many members of the Parish Family who are still feeling nervous, reticent and vulnerable. Although restrictions have been lifted, we must all remain prudent about how we act and inter-act within the confines of the church; we must all take personal responsibility for the way we act. Even if masks and social-distancing are no longer obligatory, there will be many who will wish to continue adhering to these precautions; and please respect the space of others. Singing in church is permissible and the Confessional may be used for the Sacrament of Penance. There is no reason why we should not show each other a sign of peace, albeit in a non-tactile way; i.e. a bow or smile acknowledging our neighbour, unless we are with family members. Obviously Communion from the Chalice is not possible because of the serious risk of infection. A reminder that, if you are receiving Holy Communion on the tongue, please come up last in the line. Booking a place at Mass is no longer necessary, nor the stewarding. Our Bishops have stated that the Sunday Obligation will be reinstated as from the First Sunday of Advent.
