GIFT AID BOXES have returned!
They are ready for collection
from the Hall after Mass.
However, if you now have a Standing Order there may not be a box.
|
Post
I have noticed that the Presbytery has not received post for several days.
Is this a result of ‘Pinging’?
If you have posted something to us
please be aware.

Step 4 Guidance for Communal Worship
On Thursday 15th July we received
an email from the Diocese with the latest news from the Bishops of England
and Wales in two documents relating
to the easing of Covid restrictions.
The first laid out in some detail
the practicalities of returning to some
sort of normality in church and it
is much as we expected:
Track and Trace remains in place,
no need to socially distance, no need to
refrain from passing the plate or
offertory processions and no need
for stewards or one way systems.
However, the Bishops also state
along with the government that Covid
is still a very real threat and we are
by no means living in normal times.
Restrictions that remain in place are:
no water stoops, constant cleaning
of touch points, congregational singing
only if masked, communion under one kind
(which in St. Matthias is in the hand), and
there should be no physical sign of peace.
The second document focused on
the restoration of the obligation
to attend Sunday Mass, reminding us
that it is the foundation of all we do.
The most significant paragraph reads:
‘It is hoped that it will be possible
for all Catholics in England and Wales
to fulfil this most important Church precept,
that of the Sunday Obligation,
by the First Sunday in Advent 2021.
In the meantime, all Catholics are asked
to do their best to participate in the
celebration of the weekly Sunday Mass
and to reflect deeply on the centrality of
Sunday worship in the life of the Church.’
The full text of both documents is available at
https://www.cbcew.org.uk/
The pre-covid timetable for services
has resumed.
-
Please continue to sanitise and complete Track & Trace on entering the Church.
-
We still need your help with the cleaning after each service.
-
The toilets will be open again, but you must clean all surfaces you touch when finished.
-
Parents should accompany their children to the toilet and clean afterwards.
|
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR STEWARDS
whose ministry finishes on the 19th July.
They have done a great service
allowing us to celebrate Mass
together again as a community.
