With all national restrictions now lifted, public worship takes place in much the same way as it did before the start of the pandemic.

You are encouraged to continue to sanitise your hands on entry and exit to the church.  The wearing of face masks is a personal choice.

The physical sign of peace will remain suspended and Holy Communion will continue to be under one kind.

Returning to Mass at Pentecost (Sunday 5 June 2022): The Bishops of England and Wales have issued a Plenary Resolution, inviting everyone to return to Mass: “Since the beginning of the Covid pandemic, until the present time, we have shared with you our judgment that the situation of the last two years has meant that the Sunday Obligation has been impeded and has needed to be fulfilled in other ways. We thank God that this situation has now changed. The pressing challenges of the pandemic have lessened significantly. Most people have resumed the wide range of normal activities, no longer restricted by the previous Covid measures. We therefore believe that the reasons which have prevented Catholics from attending Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation no longer apply.” You can read the full resolution on the Diocese website www.abdiocese.org.uk/news
