WEEKDAY MASSES; Unfortunately last Wednesday I got a positive Covid Test result and have been forced to isolate. Thankfully I am fine except for a cold and cough. I am advised that my isolation should end on Monday although I will take another test to be sure. Mass on Monday will only be available on livestream but hopefully after that will be back to normal. Please check the website for up to date information. I am very grateful for the help given to me from Fr John and Fr Myers this weekend with Masses, a funeral and a baptism.
