OUR LADY & ST PATRICKS IN THE MEADOWS

Churches open for Public Worship

With the announcement of a new lockdown for England to curb the rapid spread of COVID-19, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, said:
“The regular practice of our faith in God is a well-established source of both personal resilience and dedicated service to those in need. Such resilience and enduring service are vital in these difficult circumstances.
“I am glad that no measures have been introduced that would obstruct or curtail this essential source of energy for the common good. Catholic parishes will continue to serve the needs of their local community."

The latest lockdown restrictions come into force on 5 January 2021.

The government has published its lockdown guidance for England.

In terms of Communal Worship, the following guidance is provided:
You can leave home to attend or visit a place of worship for communal worship. You should follow the guidance on the safe use of places of worship and must not mingle with anyone outside of your household or support bubble when attending a place of worship.
