PLEASE DO NOT VENTURE ONTO THE ALTAR. ALL WHO DO SO MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE CHURCH. TODAY IS THE END OF THE SEASON OF CHRISTMAS

PRIEST’S CHRISTMAS OFFERING Fr. Agnelo extends his gratitude for the Christmas offerings donated by our parishioners, as always you responded to the call.

1 CONFIRMATION. The lessons for the youth of the parish who will receive confirmation this year have been suspended. As soon as we receive authorisation to continue, we will e mail all. The first session will be for a complete day. The training is being led by Deacon Carlos Lozano assisted by Anita and Maria from St. Josephs.

Following numerous weeks of detailing the safety arrangements for services at St. Josephs we shall in future reduce the volume of such notices and instead make bullet points of relevant instructions; • Parishioners who wish to attend masses/services must register with the parish secretary, Fergus Keogh, on 07970157922 and by completing a form available at the entrance on your arrival, and renewed every 4 weeks, but please in the first instance, call the number and register the mass you will be attending. • All over the aged 11 and all adults MUST wear face masks. • The number of parishioners permitted to attend services will be 22, this will vary as we apply allowances laid down by the government. • Parking will be restricted at weekends to disabled drivers, those who drive disabled parishioners and parents with very young children who have prebooked the services. • All toilet facilities will be closed, if you believe you have a valid reason why you should be allowed access speak to the parish priest or secretary. • Safety signs must be adhered to for the benefit of all attending St. Josephs. • The church adheres to TRACK and TRACE and expects its parishioners to also do so.

LETTER FROM JOHN WILSON. We have been notified of some parishes within the diocese who have had to close temporarily because the priest or stewards who help to keep the church clean have had to self -isolate. We cannot rely on the same small number of volunteers to continue to keep the church clean and sanitized after each service. Please step forward and help after each service, a church our size will not take long to keep safe. WE NEED YOUR HELP. We will start to dismantle the Christmas decorations and trees commencing this Monday. If you have an hour to help, we are looking for ideas to put our “crib” to good use, any suggestions” contact Fergus Keogh./?y

Please note the times for all our masses and services, we are reverting to our original times which will make life easier
