CROSS

THE PARISH OF OUR LADY AND ST. PATRICK’S
THIS WEEK'S SERVICES

APRIL 5th - APRIL 11TH 2020

THIS "GEM" CHURCH WILL BE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

During the Corona Virus Crisis
the church will be closed, in line with government guidelines.
MASSES will be live-streamed until further notice:

Monday to Wednesday this week at 9.30am.
Thursday: Mass of the Last Supper – livestreamed at 8pm
Good Friday service – livestreamed at 3pm.

No Mass will be livestreamed on Saturday; the Vigil service and Mass, in my opinion, would lose it’s dramatic effect without the fire, the different readers, the candlelight and the congregation.

EASTER SUNDAY: Mass will be livestreamed at 10am

NO CONFESSIONS     

BAPTISM:
Deferred till after the crisis except in emergency
