​"Thank you to everyone for their generous donations to local Catholic schools."

We have some good news this week because it is now possible for Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to start taking the Blessed Sacrament to the housebound again. There are strict guidelines that have to be followed, however, in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The guidelines are available from Sr Lydwin. At this time, only those who are under 70 and have no underlying health problems may take Holy Communion to the Sick but it is a beginning!

There is now an easy way to donate to the parish by clicking a button on the Home Page of this website. At the moment it is only possible to donate to SS Peter & Paul's parish because when we were preparing the paperwork, we realised that the previous parish priest's name is on the bank statements for St Michael's and St Bernadette's. Once this has been corrected, we will be able to complete the registration for this online giving. Standing Orders are still the best way to donate to the parish as they do not incur bank charges. This new donate button, however, is very useful if you know someone who wants to make a one off donation. Click the link below to see how it works.

CONGRATULATIONS to David Bench our Seminarian from the Venerable English College in Rome. Having successfully completed his second year in formation for Priesthood, he is now able to receive the Ministry of Lector. The Archbishop has delegated Fr Mark to confer this Ministry to him during Online Mass this Sunday.

OPENING OF ST MICHAEL’S FOR PRIVATE PRAYER This Sunday afternoon St Michael’s will open from 3.00- 4.00pm. Please note this is only for private prayer. It is essential to wear a face-covering and it is important that if you or a member of your household or bubble are showing symptoms of Covid 19 that you do not come to church. If you do come to pray, please follow the guidance of the stewards, whose responsibility is to maintain the safety of all who are in the Church.

MASS INTENTIONS if you would like a Mass offered for someone, please ring Fr Mark on 10902 423005 Please be patient about when a Mass can be said, because there are so many Masses coming in, they are already booked up into August.

RETURN OF CELEBRATION OF PUBLIC MASS Many thanks to our teams of stewards and cleaners who have made it possible to open for the celebration of Mass. We were, therefore, able to celebrate public Mass for the first time on Friday. We will have another Mass next Friday 17th July at St Michael’s at 6.30pm and the following Sunday at 3.00pm.
before you book to come to one of these Masses, please read all the guidelines on the Public Mass page of this website.

THERE IS STILL NO OBLIGATION FOR PEOPLE TO ATTEND MASS ON SUNDAYS. You can choose any day of the week and the Bishops fully encourage you to continue praying the Mass by watching it online.  Each week we will gradually build up more celebrations of Mass so that you can choose which day you would like to come. Please be aware that Fr Mark is the only priest available to celebrate Mass across all three churches and he also needs to continue the online Masses for those who must stay at home.
