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. We have kept An area for those not wearing a face covering 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.

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.

RETURNING TO NORMALITY: Many thanks to the great team of helpers who cleaned the church and hall last week. The hall is open again from this week although not yet for private parties. The choir will be returning next Sunday at the 9am Mass and the SVP will resume their meetings on Wednesdays and will start their coffee mornings soon. We look forward to the start of Children’s Liturgy at the 11am Mass soon. I look forward to inviting you all to a Parish Meeting next month when we can reflect together to share ideas on the way forward for our Parish.

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 today 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.

HOLY COMMUNION FOR THE SICK OR HOUSEBOUND: Please let Fr David know of anyone who is unable to get to church and would like him to call with Holy Communion.

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION  is offered after Weekday Masses  in the sacristy or by appointment.
