buy Lyrica in ireland Mass and other services in Our Lady of the Valley parish http://thesandarenaballerina.com/2019/07/bending-line-designs-equestrian-journals/ will be restricted http://blacksuperherofan.com/tag/batwoman/ until further notice.
There is still no Sunday Obligation, numbers may be limited in Church, masks must be worn, and Masses will be brief.
We are now back to normal in standing, sitting and kneeling, and receiving Holy Communion during Mass. Anyone who perhaps feels safer by sitting throughout the Mass, please feel free to do so. Thank you to all who have cooperated with us in doing things a little different to usual these past months, in doing so helping to keep yourself and others safe.

Pastoral Letter from Bishop John for the 1st Sunday of Advent - W/E 27-28 November 2021
Pope Francis - "Fratelli Tutti" - On Fraternity and Social Friendship
Essential reading for Catholics...
"Anyone who thinks that the only lesson to be learned [from the coronavirus pandemic and the way we have responded to it] was the need to improve what we were already doing, or to refine existing systems and regulations, is denying reality."

Laudato Si'
On care for our common home...
Never before was a Papal letter more enthusiastically received by other Christian Churches, other religions, politicians, scientists, believers and non-believers alike than Pope Francis’ letter on creation, “Laudato si”. It is a challenging read at 189 pages but is clearly written and has a message that we should all try to absorb. Explains why the Church is keen to embrace the principles of conservation and recognition of the challenges of climate change. Our parish has an active group that concerns itself with this and strives to involve all the parish in meeting these challenges.

CoronaVirus – Supporting and Helping Each Other
The measures put in place by the Government at this very difficult time are to help all of us to be protected in the best way possible. Many of us will be isolated and this, inevitably, causes other problems. We must all support and care for each other in whatever way we can. Some Parishioners will become very lonely and need a visit or a phone call, others may need shopping or lifts to appointments, there will be a variety of needs within the community. buy accutane online 30mg But always keep in mind the need to adhere to social distancing instructions.
Members of the SVP will be doing all that they can to help but we want to extend what we are doing to all Parishioners. If you are someone who does not have to self isolate and would like to help please take some of the cards from the box at the back of church and give one to anybody you are aware of in your area who may need help. The card gives them your contact details offering your help. (Click to download)
This is a great opportunity for us to “Love one another". We must all pray that these measures have the best possible effect and put our trust in God’s love and compassion.
If you would like support in any way please get in touch with Peter on 01200 441081 who will help or give you a contact for someone who can.
