Masses
Today's readings at Mass
The public celebration of Sunday Mass has resumed, at 9:30 am at St Theresa’s and at 11 am at St George’s.
The number of places is limited because of tne need for social distancing. Booking is essential; if you wish to attend please request a place, sending in your email by the end of Thursday for the following Sunday. Your place will be confirmed on Friday.
There is guidance about what to expect back at church. This is updated as things change (latest version 29/3/21). Please read it!
Some people may not yet feel ready to return to church. That is OK and the requirement to attend Sunday Mass is still suspended.
Many churches have the technology to live-stream Mass, enabling you to follow Mass even if you cannot be there in person. Links for those churches in the diocese are here (scroll down the page). Other useful websites, allowing you to select by place or by time, are Church Services TV and Mass-online.
Neither St George's nor St Theresa's has the facility to live-stream Mass.
Mass Intentions
Fr Alistair offers the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass privately on most days when there is no public Mass, and will offer the Mass for specific intentions. Contact the Parish Office stating the intention. Intentions will be celebrated in order of receipt, as and when there are gaps in the diary.
It is usual to offer a Mass stipend if you can afford it. Read more...
