Important Notice

Dear Parishioners,

Numbers attending Mass in recent weeks has seen a steady foot fall, but as more parishioners become fully vaccinated there is an expectation that demand for spaces will increase. Seating plans at St Mary’s only have been reconfigured by some subtle furniture moves allowing a larger congregation than hitherto has been the case (from 10 July 2021). Individuals, families or people in bubbles will continue to be socially distanced in keeping with the two metre rule.

Other than the two metre rule what is being done to ensure your safety?

• Hand sanitiser is available on entering and leaving church.
• Face coverings must be worn (apart from those who are exempt) – if you forget your face mask a steward will provide one for you.
• The Church will be well ventilated.
• The Church will be cleaned thoroughly and disinfected after each Mass.
• Holy Communion will continue to be under one kind.
• The congregation will remain in their places throughout Mass.

All participants are kindly reminded to adhere to these measures as well as any instructions given by stewards please.
