Booking for Mass
There is a need to make sure that we do not go beyond our designated numbers of those who are attending i.e. 80 people at St Joseph’s and 30 at Our Lady of Lourdes.
While I do not anticipate that this will be a problem during the week it will be necessary to book a place for the Vigil and the two Sunday Masses.
There is now an online booking system to do this on the parish website.

If you prefer you can phone the presbytery to book a place giving your name, the number of people from your household and your telephone number. I will then ring you to confirm that you are able to come along.
I am very aware that this all seems so very alien to me and to many others – but if it means we can celebrate Mass together safely then it something we will all have to put up with for a time.
The Government’s latest guidance issued on 4th August now requires by law that face coverings are worn in places of worship. This obviously will exclude those who are on the Government list of those who are exempt from wearing a face covering.
If you are unable to use your booking, please inform me or Sheila Forde.
God Bless, Fr Dennis.
