Reopening for services with a congregation

Last updated: Thursday 25th June 2020

It has been announced that from Saturday 4th July services with a congregation may resume. We are currently reviewing the guidance from the Government, the Catholic Bishops Conference, and our own Diocese on how to proceed.

In the meantime you can continue to participate with our live-streamed services on the Parish YouTube and Parish Facebook page and join in the conversations on our various social media channels.

Please be assured that once our churches do re-open for services with a congregation, live-streaming will continue for the benefit of those still unable to attend for health reasons.
