All Parish Masses/Private Prayer CANCELLED

Updated: Jan 17, 2021

With a growing concern for the safety of our parishioners, we have taken the decision to cancel Masses and Private Prayer at St Godric's and St Joseph's churches.

Our plan is

  • No Masses or services from Sunday 10 January to Tuesday 19 January, apart from three scheduled funerals (15th, 19th and 22nd January)

  • Friday 15 January - review of the situation, looking at the figures on transmission of the virus in our area.

If the situation has improved sufficiently, then

  • Tuesday 19 January - the booking system re-opens for Masses for weekend Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 January, and weekday Masses resume.

  • Note that there are private funerals on Tuesday 19 January and Friday 22 January so the first public Exposition and Mass would be Wednesday 20 January.

If the situation remains a concern, continue with the closure, then

  • Friday 22 January, review again
