Restrictions
Dear friends and parishioners
This week we will be deciding how to relax restrictions in our churches. We have guidelines to follow, and so everyone can be assured that safety remains a priority. So please keep an ear or eye out for what will be happening.
Fr Matthew
Big thank you!

We offer many thanks to two of our organists who have recently decided that their time at the keyboard is up. Sian O’Donnell at Christ the King and Marie York at St Brigid’s have both given long service in this important ministry of music. Not only have they played beautifully, but they have taken their whole ministry conscientiously, making sure that the music fits the liturgy each week, and putting in extra time for practices etc whenever required. Inevitably this leaves gaps so please consider whether God has given you a gift of music that could be used for his glory, and if so, please let Fr Matthew know as soon as possible.
