CHURCH CLEANING: Can you help our parish by joining a rota to help clean the church. If so please hand your name and contact details (email and/or phone number) to Fr David. Many thanks.

UPDATE ON FACE COIVERINGS IN CHURCH: We want everyone to feel comfortable and safe when they come back to Mass in church. This includes those who no longer wish to wear a face covering. Our plan from 4 September is to keep an area in church for those who do not wish to wear a face covering. This area will be clearly marked at the front left of the church (as you walk in) and a pew will be kept free between this area and those behind. Initially three benches will be reserved but We will continue to review this regularly and adjust according to demand.

CIVIC SERVICE: many of you will know Stewart Gardiner, one of our parishioners, who is Mayor of Knutsford. Stewart would like to invite you to join him at his Civic Service which will be held next Sunday, 5 September at 3pm at St Cross Church. If you are attending the Service and are not part of the parade please be seated in church by 2.45pm. Tea and cakes will be served afterwards so for catering purposes please contact the Mayors PA on 01565 653929 or email michelle.bate@knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk

LIFTING OF RESTRICTIONS AT MASS: As you will be aware the Government has lifted most restrictions from 19 July. I am conscious that some of you may be cautious about returning to church at this time and please note that the Bishops have agreed that the Sunday obligation to attend Mass remains suspended for the time being. There will no longer be any requirement to book your place at Mass. We do, however, ask you to sanitise your hands when entering Church and to wear a face covering during Mass to protect yourself and others. We would also encourage you to try and maintain some distance from those not in your household. Stewards will still be at the church door to welcome you and to take your details for track and trace purposes or you may use the Covid app if you have it. You can enter or leave by either door. Those who wish are welcome to kneel in Church. Holy Communion will be distributed in the traditional manner with people coming in two lines up the centre aisle to receive Communion and then returning by the side aisles. Holy Communion will only be under one kind i.e. the sacred host. Congregational singing can resume, The sign of peace remains suspended. The Parish Hall will remain closed until September.

CHURCH CLEANING: Can you help our parish by joining a rota to help clean the church. If so please hand your name and contact details (email and/or phone number) to Fr David. Many thanks.

PLEASE NOTE THAT Mass on Wednesday of this week will be at 12 Noon.
