CHRISTMAS MASS ARRANGAMENTS FOR 2020 - The Parish Pastoral Council together with our Priests are happy to announce that we hope to be able to celebrate a simple Christmas in these extraordinary times. Extra Masses have been scheduled for Christmas Eva and Christmas Day and we hope to stream some Masses live on the Parish Website.
Unfortunately, even with extra Masses, there will be a greater reduced capacity than other years due to strict COVID-19 guidelines. To ensure the safety of all attending and to comply with government & diocesan regulation, it will be essential to manage and control the expected numbers in the Church.
The Parish Pastoral Council and our priests have reflected and decided that distribution of admission tickets for our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Mass would be the fairest method to allow as many households as possible in the parish the opportunity to participate in the Christmas Masses.
