Re-opening of some Churches for Private Prayer

The Government has now given the go-ahead for some churches to open if they can satisfy all the necessary safety requirements. The Archdiocese is sending out Risk Assessment Forms this week and once these are completed, the diocese will decide which churches will be able to open. If any of the churches in our parish are to open, this would only be for a short time each week and we will need a team of volunteers and cleaners. Please let Fr Mark know if you can help as soon as possible but please note that to volunteer you must be under 70 and have no underlying health problems.
