Following a congregational discussion on Sunday 25th September we are making some changes to how we go about the liturgy:

The Welcome Desk stays to welcome us all, and make newcomers feel comfortable. A list of names attending will no longer be compiled.

The wearing of masks is discretionary. As is distancing.

The Exchange of Peace - we will continue with minimal, discretionary, physical contact. 

The Offertory Procession with Collection will be reinstated. 

Receiving Holy Communion - we decided to continue with intinction and the option, of course, of receiving in one kind (the host) only. If you are going to intinct - dip the host in the Precious Blood in the chalice, please sanitise your hands before coming up, and take care not to let your fingers touch the wine. 

Post-mass Refreshments - how much you mingle is discretionary, please remember others may not wish to. 

We will review these measures again in due course. If you have any concerns, please speak to Fr George.
