We hope that parishioners will be able to participate in our ceremonies through the online presentations. Usually, people have a booklet to take home but not this year. For those who wish to reflect on the events of Holy Week, we will publish the introductory narratives, from Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Saturday, under Events, after each ceremony.
Once again, it is going to be difficult to distribute the collection envelopes to parishioners. They are now available in the Church, organised by area, some with the name of the usual distributor attached, some without. If you are able to deliver a batch in your home area, your help is much appreciated.
We continue to stream Mass at the usual times, daily and weekend, from the Parish Webcam. Funeral Masses are streamed live but recordings, when required, must be booked in advance.

On and from Tuesday 1st December 2020, the country will be in Level 3 rather than Level 5 of the National Plan for Living with Covid-19. A modification has been announced to allow attendance at Mass during these important weeks of Advent and Christmas. Numbers, however, must be limited and health guidelines must be strictly observed.
Level 3 limits remain in place for Weddings (up to 25 persons) and for Funerals (maximum 25).
