Booking system for attending Mass: Due to the two-metre social distancing restriction, our Church capacity is 27 people. Everyone therefore, will have to book to attend Mass.

Some details about Mass: Communion will take place after the Final Blessing. After you receive Communion under one form (the host), immediately exit the back door, via the sacristy. Do not return to your seat as we are following a one-way system. Those on the Sacred Heart side of the Church come first from front to back and then Our Lady’s from front to back. There will be a box in the porch as you enter to place your weekly contribution which supports the upkeep of the parish. As you exit the back door the SVDP box will be available to make contributions and St Anthony’s Box in the Sacristy.

Family Rosary: We will continue on Saturdays and Sundays at 7pm to pray the Rosary together in our homes for our families and parish. We especially ask Our Lady in her titles as Health of the Sick and Comforter of the Afflicted to intercede before God the Father and her Son Jesus for our intentions.

Anniversaries: We pray for those who have died recently especially: William (Bill)Houston, Celia Sah Mbeh and for those whose Anniversaries occurs around now especially: Albert Vincent O’Kane.

21st Sunday Ordinary Time: Marriage Matters: Today’s Gospel places keys at the heart of the responsibility Jesus gives Peter. In spite of his weakness and failings, because of his faith, he is entrusted with the keys of the Kingdom of God. Our marriage love is entrusted with the keys of our family life. We are the rock upon which the future of our family life will be built.
