Yet again I am delighted to report that everything went well at weekday Masses in our three churches last week. Thank you. People who have been to Mass are obviously delighted to do so, and because of all that is in place, feel safe. Thank you for adhering to the rules and regulations we are all asked to observe, and let us continue to do so. Things are certainly different for all of us.
Again, thanks to our stewards who direct us while we are in church and clean after we have left. They make it possible for us to open our churches.
There is still No Sunday Obligation
Try and make Mass during the week your ‘New Sunday Mass time’.
When we start celebrating Mass again on Sundays
we will need to let those who cannot come during the week
take priority in attending weekend Mass.
In doing this we would have no problem getting everyone safely in church
either during the week, or at the weekend.
Patience and generosity will be required from us all
for this to work.
PLEASE REMEMBER
Face-coverings are now mandatory
whenever you come into church.
(unless you are exempt for whatever reason)
Please keep your face covering on
when you come forward to receive Holy Communion
Parishes have been instructed that once Mass begins no one can enter church
All being well
we will start to celebrate public Mass on Sundays from 5th September
Feasts this week:
Monday St. Bartholomew.
Wednesday Blessed Dominic of the Mother of God.
Thursday St. Monica.
Friday St. Augustine
Saturday The Passion of St. John the Baptist
Baptisms can once again be celebrated in church. Certain conditions are placed before us for celebrating baptisms, this includes limiting numbers who attend.
If you wish to arrange your baby’s baptism then please contact Fr. Paul.
Funerals Requiem Mass can again be celebrated, but again adhering to certain conditions which includes no more than 30 being able come into the church.
Weddings can once again take place, again no more than 30 are able to come into church and other conditions need to be adhered to as well.
As we listen to today’s gospel (Matthew 16: 13-20), we particularly remember the present successor of Peter, Francis our Pope; we give thanks to God for him and we pray that God may continue to bless him in faith and wisdom; that being strong in himself, he may help to strengthen us in our faith; and that as Chief Shepherd he may help us on our way to the Kingdom.
