People who are vulnerable or unwell, especially with any symptoms that might suggest a Covid-19 infection should stay at home and if possible follow Mass on TV, local radio or from some of our parishes on the Diocesan website.

There is no obligation to attend Mass during this Covid crisis either on a Sunday or Holyday. People should keep 2 metres physical distance from each other at all times, both inside and outside the Church.

The seats in the Church have all been marked at 2 metre distances and we ask that all people adhere to these markings.

The floors also have markings at 2 metres and you are asked to stand at the markers to ensure safe physical distancing.
