In light of the news from the Government and guidelines received from the Bishops Conference, social distancing measures will be removed from the Church as of Monday 19th July, HOWEVER, masks and hand sanitisation MUST still be observed. As everyone will still be wearing masks, congregational singing is now permitted.
Please note when attending Mass everyone MUST:
- Complete an NHS Track & Trace card each time you attend either Mass. You can print this out at Home (click here to download) and bring it with you or complete one at the door of the Church, or use the QR Code on the poster in the lobby.
- Wear a face mask during Mass.
- Sanitise Hands on entry and exit to the Church.
Use of the Hall
In consultation with the Finance Committee via email, the parish secretary and Praetorium (our hall booking managers), I have decided the hall will not be used for general social functions for the time being. It can be used for Church liturgy, such as First Holy Communion and Confirmation. It may also be used for small receptions of a few hours, related to a Marriage or Baptism being undertaken in the Church, but there MUST BE a designated person responsible for undertaking COVID requirements.
The Archbishop’s Certificate
The Archbishop’s Certificate (ArchCert) is an online course for all in Southwark who wish to know their catholic faith more deeply. Participants will take a two-year journey through the Church’s teaching to understand their faith in a more profound way and be able to share it with both confidence and joy. The course will commence on 9th October 2021 with an online introduction and the cost will be £365 per year (with potential assistance from your parish). Registration must be completed in advance.
