First Holy Communion Mass 10 July
First Holy Communion Mass 10 July: Alas, the Mass is a 'restricted' event and the church is reserved for the sole use of the children, their families and their limited number of guests. Please remember the children in your prayers.
A variety of First Holy Communion cards & gifts will be available from our piety stall from after Mass the this Saturday and from 9:15-10:00am this Sunday in the grounds away from the main church doors. St Joseph's Nursery has some places available from September. You should contact the school for more information, tel. 0114 2692773. Attending church
FACE COVERINGS ARE REQUIRED IN CHURCH
UNLESS YOU HAVE AN EXEMPTION THIS IS NOW LAW You MUST NOT come to church if: You are unwell or somebody in your household has coronavirus symptoms, for example a cough or high temperature. Please follow the directions of the stewards. Church Cleaning & Stewarding
The continuing work of our voluntary church cleaners and stewards remains the bedrock of our ability to open and use our church. Without them the church would be closed and we are immensely thankful for all that they do. If you have returned to church, have seen how things are done, and now feel ready and able to volunteer then please contact me. More hands help spread the load. Thank you.
Finally, this week's newsletter is here. Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us. St Joseph, pray for us. St Charles Borromeo, pray for us. With my prayers, Rev. Mark McManus Parish Priest |
