My dear people
Welcome welcome, welcome back. We have permission to have public Masses in our churches again. (Not more than 50 people). The Parish Council has united certain station districts so everyone will be able to have Mass & Communion once a fortnight under the usual conditions of no handshaking, social distancing, and masks. Sunday Monday Tuesday etc. are all the same for the present. The main thing is we gather to participate in the Eucharist as God’s people. Thanks be to God. Keep safe and looking forward to seeing ye. The dates, times, districts etc. will be in the parish newsletters.
Every blessing
Fr Tom

Canticle of Zechariah
A good person draws what is good from the store of goodness in their heart; for a person’s words flow out of what fills their heart.
(cf. LK 6:45)
PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE NEW EVANGELISATION (Section from the Press release)
In response to the Holy Father’s heartfelt wish, the month of May will be dedicated to a “marathon” of prayer, to ask for the end of the pandemic, which has afflicted the world for more than a year now, and to ask for the resumption of social and work activities. Pope Francis wishes to involve all the Shrines around the world in this initiative, so that they may become vehicles of the prayer of the entire Church. The initiative is being conducted in the light of the biblical expression: “Prayer by the Church was fervently being made to God” (Acts 12:5).
The official channels of the Holy See will broadcast the prayer said each day in each of these thirty Shrines at 6:00 p.m., according to time scheduled in Rome. A short liturgical guide has been prepared that provides some useful suggestions for sharing this moment in one’s own community. The guide in Italian, English and Spanish can be downloaded from the website of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization
Our Lady health of the sick, pray for us.
