We are open for public Mass

Dear Parishioner, dear friends,

​From Monday 6th July we will open the Church for Mass’s with a congregation. In line with Public Health requirements and diocesan guidance there will be a limit to how many can attend.
We are not yet in the new normal. The Covid-19 virus is still among us. We are living though a time of transition. It is important that we remember this and continue to care for each other.
 
We need to know if you intend to come to Mass. This will enable us to ensure everyone’s safety.
To facilitate this, you can let us know by pre booking (Letting us know) on the https://parish.rcdow.org.uk/kensington1/events/
Or email the parish office or Telephone
 
Our Bishops have removed the obligation to attend Mass on Sunday during this emergency. We are encouraged to attend Mass on any day we can. It does not have to be Sunday for the moment.
 
These are the Mass times for the week of 6th to 10th July
Monday to Thursday 10.00 am
Friday 6.30 pm
Saturday 6.00pm
Sunday 9.30 am
11.am Live streamed only Mass (no public congregation) Join via our Parish website.
Sunday open for individual prayer only 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm
Please note all the celebration of Mass will be lived streamed
 
These times will be reviewed and changed as we monitor the response and need.  At Mass celebrated with a congregation the following will be observed:

• 2 metre distance will be observed.
• You may wish to wear a mask or face covering.
• Follow the one-way system.
• The Mass will be simplified in order to reduce the time spent in an enclosed space.
• Only sit on the benches indicated. Members of the same family or household should sit together.
• There will be no music or singing or sign of peace 
• Sanitise your hands on entry and exit.
• Holy communion will be given in the hand you are asked to stand.
• If you feel unwell or are in a shielded category, please stay at home.
• Put your offertory collection and donations in the box at the entrance to the Church.
• Or donate on line via our website or standing order/direct debit.
• There are no toilet facilities at this time

 
Finally could you volunteer to clean the Church after Mass and/ or act as steward?
We will be in touch with further updates Thank you to those who have helped open the Church for individual prayer
Yours sincerely in Christ
