Whilst we have not yet received formal advice to do so, it is thought appropriate to temporarily cease certain liturgical practices in order to minimise the possibility of anyone who is carrying the coronavirus handing it on to other parishioners. So, until further notice, we will use an alternative Sign of Peace, and Communion under both kinds will be suspended. Please also note that you will need to receive Communion in the hand and not on the tongue. Holy Water stoups are empty.
These are precautionary measures already implemented in a number of parishes around the diocese and beyond.
We have also been advised that we should not be using hymn books – hence the hymn sheets which can go in the recycling bin after use
For those who feel unable to come to Mass during these times, live Masses are available on line via this link www.churchservices.tv/whats-on-now/
