THE National Lockdown and ST JOHN FISHER update Currently, we are permitted to continue our Masses at SJF with Covid restrictions in place. The seating configuration has been changed again, to allow for even more distance between worshippers. We are only permitting 3 parishioners per bench, unless a family /bubble are sitting together. In common with other Catholic churches in our Deanery, some of our weekday Masses will now be said privately. Please check the Newsletter Mass schedule for up to date information. All Mass intentions will be offered as usual, be that at the public Mass or when Mass is said in private. The Holy Father has suspended the obligation to attend Mass during the pandemic, including Holy Days of Obligation. If you, or a member of your household are vulnerable, clinically compromised, or shielding, it is important that you do not come. It is also most important, that if you are unwell, even with a cough which you think may be a simple cold that you remain at home and get better before attending Mass again. Thank you for wearing a face covering, they are compulsory in our buildings at all times - even outside of the Mass. Many people are naturally feeling anxious at the moment about the spread of Covid. But we have hope, with the roll out of the two new vaccines. Please pray at home for an end to the spread of the virus and for the safe distribution of the vaccine. Please also pray for all who are in hospital and those who are sick at home, who have tested positive, including members of the clergy across our Diocese. May God bless you and your families at this time. Fr Shaun
