NEWS AND NOTES
CORONAVIRUS RULES: The benches on the right side of Church (in front of the Lady Altar) will still be “distanced” - please respect people’s space in this section. Good ventilation is still required, so please be prepared for Church being a little chilly if the weather is cold. The most important rule is that if you or someone in your household test positive for Covid-19 you should not come to Church. Similarly if you or someone in your household displays symptoms you should not attend.
Refreshments after Mass: Everyone is very welcome to stay behind after Sunday morning Masses and share a cuppa! Tea and Coffee are served in the Parish Centre on the opposite side of the carpark after 9.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. Masses.

Please pray for each other, and especially those who are ill or afraid. If you require help please do not hesitate to telephone Father James on 01706 645361

Baptisms are by appointment: please collect one of the Information forms from the porch for details of what is required and the next steps in the process.
Anointing of the Sick Please call the Presbytery to ask for this Sacrament. It should not be left until the last minute, but the sick should celebrate this sacrament to receive God’s help, healing and comfort.
Marriage is also by appointment. Please take an information leaflet and return the tear off portion to arrange a pre-Nuptial interview. Please do not make bookings before this interview and note that six months’ notice is required.
Initiation of Children First Holy Communion is celebrated in Year 3 — registration for 2023 will begin in July this year. The Sacrament of Confirmation is offered in Year 8 (though we are currently also “catching up” with Year 9 pupils): young people attending Catholic High Schools will be contacted directly: if your child is at a non-Catholic School, please speak to Father James for an Application Form.
Initiation of Adults It is my hope to begin a course for Adult Baptism/Reception into the Church in the New Year. Please watch this space!
We try to have the latest information on the News and Events page.
