23rd April (updated 4th July)

The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales recognise that this time of the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting every person in our countries. Those who are sick, and their families, are suffering many hardships of isolation from contact with those they love.

Our front-line workers in hospitals and in care homes all over our lands are giving exceptional service to those who are vulnerable at this time.

In order to show a spiritual solidarity with all those who are involved in the ways described above, at 7.00pm each Thursday, a Catholic Bishop will celebrate Mass in their Cathedral which will be live-streamed for people to join.

Cardinal Vincent Nichols celebrated the first Mass in Westminster Cathedral at 7.00pm on 23rd April.

Remaining dates, up to the 9th July, are as follows (click on the Cathedral name to access he live feed):

Local and National Public Health restrictions have been increased given the rising numbers of infections and patients in hospital. It is vital that we all play our part.

• If you have, or someone you have been in close contact with, develop Covid-19 symptoms, please self isolate, arrange to have a test and do not come into church.
• On arrival please sanitise your hands.
• Always wear a face covering within church (except babies, toddlers and those who are exempt).
• Groups should only share benches with people from the same household/bubble.

For those Parishioners who are not attending Mass and normally give in the collection, to continue to help the Parish in these difficult times, you can now give on line, either as a one off payment or as a regular monthly payment, by clicking here. Please note that the minimum amount that can be donated is £5.

Need Help? A small team of volunteers has formed to keep in touch with those who are isolated at home as a precaution or due to illness.

The team can deliver essential groceries, drop off/collect prescriptions at surgeries and pharmacies, and post mail as well as have a friendly chat on the phone.
