Due to social distancing regulations, seating is very limited. Mass times have also changed in order to allow a suitable gap for cleaning etc between them. Sunday Masses are at 8.30am and 11.30am, and there is also Mass in Extraordinary Form on Mondays at 7.30pm. Please book your place by calling 07444 079157. Masses must be booked by 8pm the previous day. We are working towards making booking available online very soon.
Please note that the dispensation from obligatory attendance of Mass remains valid.
The church is now open for private prayer from Monday to Friday 11.00am until 7.00pm. Adoration on Friday from 11.00am-7.00pm. There is a one-way system: walking towards the altar down the centre aisle, and then returning to the main entrance down the sides, just like during communion.
You will need to maintain a 2-metre distance. This also means not sitting at the end of the row, but walking 2 metres (approx 6 feet) away from the aisle.
It is also necessary for us to know who has been in the church on which day, in case there is any later development. We have loose forms for those in attendance to complete, which can then be deposited in a secure box. So, the path has been prepared for you, we have gone before and made everything ready – come and spend time with our Lord in His House!
