We are, as of 16 March 2020, still holding our regular services.  However, some of the church's activities have been suspended.  There is no Parish Lunch (monthly on the third Wendesday of the month) until further notice. Little Fishes, which runs on a Thursday morning from 10 am until 11.30 am, has been suspended until after Easter, at which time we will review the situation.  

The National Council of Churches have advised that:

We wash our hands on arriving at the church, and on leaving.

We do not have physical contact when sharing the peace.

We stand to take Communion.

We have Communion in one form only - the host - and the priest leading the service will have the bread and the wine.

Collection is a retiring collection only, the plate will not be passed among the congregation.

There should be no refreshments served following the service.

St Mary of Charity will be following these recommendations, and will be adopting any updates. We will have the portable sink available for worshipers to use on arriving and leaving the church.
