Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ, In order to protect the weaker members of our communities from the present virus, entry into our churches has been suspended. Mass intentions will still be said but privately without a congregation. Those who have arranged baptisms, weddings and funerals will be contacted by me directly. The First Communion & Confirmation programmes are suspended. This applies not only to the classes but to the Masses themselves. The meeting of all parish groups is also suspended. I am most sorry about this. However, the sooner the virus is isolated and eradicated the sooner we shall return to normal. Although churches will not be open, we are all encouraged to pray at home. Indeed, we need to pray for those who are infected. We also need to pray for those who are feeling isolated, lonely and worried. Also, please keep in your prayers all the dedicated members of our NHS. Thank you and God bless. Yours in Christ, Fr. Brendan |
