Update 21st September
The Covid-19 pandemic has prevented the opening of the chaplaincy building for the start of this semester, but the chaplaincy team is still here to offer support and pastoral care, spiritual guidance and the sacraments, and a range of other opportunities.
The current timetable for the Church is as follows:
Mondays to Fridays : Open 11am - 1pm; Mass at 12.30pm.
Saturdays: Closed
Sundays: Open 10am - 12 noon; Mass at 11am;
Open 6pm - 8pm; Mass at 7pm.
Please bear in mind the following considerations:
(i) The Sunday obligation has not yet been reinstated - so nobody is obliged to come to Mass;
(ii) If you are in a vulnerable category, e.g. elderly or with a medical condition,
it may be wiser not to come to Mass yet;
(iii) If you have any symptoms of Covid-19, such as a high temperature or cough,
please do not come to Mass.
And if you do come to Mass, please note:
(a) Our seating capacity will be reduced because of social distancing
- if the church is full we may have to turn people away;
(b) If you come to Mass, please come early as it may take time to get everyone seated;
(c) As you enter the church, please sanitise your hands,
and follow the instructions of the stewards who will greet you;
(d) Unfortunately we are not allowed to open the toilet,
so please go before you come to Church!
(e) We have to leave all the doors open, so bring a coat!
(f) Please wear a face covering unless you are under 11 or exempt for any other reason.
Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)
It is not possible to use the confessionals at this time, but confessions can take place by appointment - preferably outside. To make an appointment, please phone 07718 287464 between 9.30 am and 5pm.
