COVID-19 MEASURES – PLEASE NOTE THAT MOST MEASURES REMAIN IN PLACE: UPDATED AS OF 16/7/2021
- Booking for weekend Masses is still required before attending Mass by email or calling the Parish Office (Monday, Wednesday, 9am - 1pm, Friday 9am - 3pm) providing full name, contact number and email/home address. This is to follow the NHS “Track and Trace” system imposed by the Government
- Body temperature check with the help of a steward
- Proper wearing of face coverings is now personal choice, but it is strongly recommended that you continue to wear your face covering.
- Using the “ONE WAY SYSTEM” entering the main front door and leaving by the side door of the church
- Congregational singing will return in September
- Sign of the peace is omitted
- Children are not allowed to wander around the church for their own protection and other people’s safety
- Votive candles are available
- The congregation is invited to leave immediately after the Holy Mass allowing the stewards to sanitize the church
- Following the Social Distancing rule of 1 metre or more, we can now accommodate 86 people. (The seating areas have green signage). Please follow the guidance of the stewards.
- We have reintroduced bidding prayers
- The Offertory Procession is reintroduced with those involved sanitising their hands immediately before they touch the sacred vessel or other gifts
- The Holy Communion will continue to be under one kind and the Minister will continue to wear a face covering and it is permitted to announce “the Body of Christ” for each communicant. Communion is recommended to be distributed in the hands, but if people wish to receive on the tongue, then they should wait until the end of the communion line and receive then. Communion on the tongue exposes the ministers’ hands to their aerosol and increases the possibility of viral infections. He will have to sanitize his hands again immediately after.
