Jesus is still calling priests, he needs you to say yes to his call.  Be a priest and find joy, bring people to God and let Jesus work through you.  “If you feel called to be a priest, open your heart to Jesus, follow the Lord and do not be afraid.  Priesthood is not an office of the past.  Jesus needs priests today more than ever.

Lifting of COVID Restrictions

We are delighted to receive the word of the lifting of the majority of restrictions in the country and we thank all those who worked so hard here in the church to keep things safe for parishioners.  The current advice is that people would continue the following:-

  • Face masks are advised while attending Mass.

  • Hand Sanitiser is available at the Church doors.

  • Social distancing no longer applies.

  • Sign of Peace will be omitted in the short term.

  • Holy Communion will continue to be administered in the hand only.

  • Approach the altar for Holy Communion in single file as during COVID.

  • Holy water may be used in the fonts at the Church doors.


Thanks to all our parishioners for their cooperation with arrangements.  
Special thanks to our stewards and the parish staff for their work in keeping people and buildings safe.
Please remember that those who feel unwell or have Covid-like symptoms should not attend ceremonies.
