We are Now open Sundays

Now that most of our vulnerable members of the congregation have had their jabs, we have decided to open for the ‘normal’ socially distanced services on Sundays.

Mass starts 10.30am from Sunday 19th February

Masks must be worn unless you have an exemption, and hand sanitiser is available near the door. We are continuing to use the side entrance (opposite the Polish shop) instead of the tower doors whilst restrictions are still in place.

All welcome, we hope to see you soon!

We are Reopening!

Matthew 16:18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

We will be reopening for prayer first of all, and then Mass from Friday 10th July:

  • Friday 3rd July – 12-1pm private prayer
  • Friday 10th July – 12.30pm Mass
  • Sunday 12th July – 10.30am Mass 5th Sundy after Trinity

Following this we will continue with normal Mass times – Friday 12.30pm, Sunday 10.30am and Holy Days 12.30pm. The toilet and cafe area are still undergoing refurbishment but the toilets are fully functional and availalble! Please use the side door as the tower entrance needs some repairs and is fenced off. We look forward to welcoming back friends old and new. 

Come, let us sing unto the Lord: 
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, 
and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God, 
and a great King above all gods. 
In his hand are the deep places of the earth:
the strength of the hills is his also. 
The sea is his, and he made it:
and his hands formed the dry land. 
Come, let us worship and bow down:
let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
Psalm 95 extract verses 1-6
