WE ARE OPERATING A REDUCED SCHEDULE

OF PUBLIC MASSES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

FROM MONDAY 13th JULY MASSES AT BISHOP ETON WILL BE AS FOLLOWS

MONDAY AT 11.00AM

WEDNESDAY AT 6.00PM

AND FRIDAY AT 6.00PM.

Please note the church will accommodate 60 individuals. Once we have reached this limit we will not be able to allow anymore people in. We apologise in advance if you are turned away.

The church has been cleaned and benches have been cordoned off to meet the 1 metre plus distancing rules.

We are operating a one way system, entering via the main door of church; face masks MUST be worn and after sanitizing your hands you will be guided to your seat; two individuals per bench as marked out, unless a family unit.

We ask that you try to keep touching surfaces to a minimum.

Communion will take place after Mass is ended and you will be guided out via the side chapel and Hughes Room.

You may not return to your seat, so are asked not to bring bags such as shopping into church with you.

There are posters on the door you should read before entering.

Anyone with symptoms should not come into the church. The vulnerable should consider the wisdom of returning to Mass too soon. The vulnerable includes those over 70 and people with pre-existing conditions.

Stewards will be at various points from entry to exit to ensure that everyone adheres to the protocols. Church will be cleaned again when everyone has vacated the church.
