Churches and Lockdown 3 - what we can do... Whilst our lockdown is easing we can still attend communal worship (Mass) but we must only sit with our own house- hold or support bubble and we cannot mingle with other households before, during, or after coming to Church. It is good to be able to have the choice of coming to Mass but remember that the obligation to do so is still suspended and it is important not only to be safe but to feel safe. Church opening times this week Wednesday - St Joseph's 5.30pm - 6.30pm Private Prayer

Public Mass Friday - St Joseph’s Church 10,00am Mass Saturday - St Joseph’s Church 5.30pm Sunday - Holy Family Church 9.00am - St Joseph's Church 11.00am - St Teresa’s Church 5.30pm Please be mindful that the numbers are limited due to Government guidelines and that at both St Joseph's and Holy Family we can overspill into the halls, so Mass at those churches can accommodate more people. Guidance for face covering, sanitising, social distancing, stewarding, etc remains in place.
