Message Regarding Coronavirus (Covid-19)

Following the relaxation of some of the current restrictions regarding Public worship, St. Christopher’s will re-open for Sunday worship from Sunday 5th July 2020.

There will be 2 masses: 08:30 and 10:30 as it was before the lockdown. They will both be said with a short address; the 10:30am will not be sung and we will be limited to no more than 25 people in the Nave. If it is the case the numbers exceed, there may be an extra celebration introduced in the short term.

Holy Communion will be offered in one kind only and the peace will not be shared physically. Children’s Church will not be re-starting before September.

The Wednesday mass will be as usual at 10:30am but the Thursday mass at 7pm will not be re-instated for another few weeks. The Church continues to be open from 9am till 12 noon each day till July 4th for private prayer.

No directions have been given regarding baptisms so they are still not permitted, but weddings can take place subject to limited numbers. The Parish office still remains closed for the time being.

Safety Measures:

There is a one way system in operation and hand sanitation stations are also provided, together with soap and hot water in both disabled toilets. There are also some pews taped-off and out of use, to set the two metre social distances.

Further details will be posted as they are known, on this site and the Parish Facebook page.

All good wishes, and continue to stay safe.
Fr. Martin
