Mass Times
Please see the latest newsletter for any changes.
During the Coronavirus Pandemic
Following the decision of the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales, all gatherings for public worship must be suspended, and all churches, halls and associated facilities closed until further notice.
Live-streaming of Mass and other services from our parish is available here.
Mass (without a congregation) will be offered daily, generally at 9.15 am. You can continue to request intentions via the parish office.
Sacrament of Reconciliation is possible on request in cases of serious need. Please note that our bishops have dispensed Easter Duties for this year. See their document here.
Other Sacraments will not be celebrated except in emergency. Do please contact Fr Stephen in the normal way in emergency situations.
Funerals can be celebrated only with close family members at the graveside or at the crematorium. However, we will be able to celebrate memorial Requiem Masses for those who have died once the present crisis passes.
Participating in Mass. Although Mass can only be celebrated without a congregation at present, we are all encouraged to join in spiritually. You can make use of live-streaming of Mass our own parish here or from many other places. You can also simply pray the prayers and readings of Mass at home, and make a spiritual communion e.g. “I wish, my Lord, to receive you with the purity, humility, and devotion with which your most holy Mother received you, with the spirit and fervour of the saints.” In this emergency circumstance the obligation to attend Sunday Mass is removed.
