Due to the COVID-19 outbreak not all Churches are open for public masses

Because of the restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, our Churches are only gradually opening. When they do open, the number of people they can hold is far lower than usual, due to the social distancing requirements.

We therefore need to ask you to book places at Mass, so that you will not arrive at Church and find you cannot go in.

Church Guidance - In order to keep the spread of COVID-19 under control, the government has announced that face coverings have to be worn in places of worship, enforceable in law from Saturday 8 August. The guidance from the Bishops' Conference has been updated to reflect this:
