It will also be open on Saturday evenings from 6.45 until 8.00 pm, allowing for the first Mass of Sunday at 7 o’clock.
The church will also be open on Tuesday 5 January from 6.45 pm until 8.00 pm for the Celebration of the first Mass of the Epiphany at 7 o’clock.
On Sundays the church will be open as present: 8.45 am until 10.00 am; 10.45 am until 12 noon, allowing for attendance of Holy Mass at 9 o’clock and 11 o’clock.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols has commented:
The regular practice of our faith in God is a well-established source of both personal resilience and dedicated service to those in need. Such resilience and enduring service are vital in these difficult circumstances.
I am glad that no measures have been introduced that would obstruct or curtail this essential source of energy for the common good. Catholic parishes will continue to serve the needs of their local community.
In one parish, for example, the provision of food for the needy has increased by 400% since March last year.
The safety of our communities remains a priority. Those attending church are reminded to observe the safety measures recommended nationally.
Many people are cautious about mixing in public, so it is well to remember that the Sunday Obligation has been lifted during these extraordinary times.
This does not mean that our faith has to be put on hold. The diocesan website carries a number of aids to help us keep Sunday, the Lord’s Day, holy.
