Church opening times for private prayer during lockdown

Hello everyone, my apologies for this long message but it is important. 
As things stand from Thursday 5th November I will not be able to perform public ceremonies in our churches except for funerals. However the church’s are open for private prayer. I have decided that the following times will help to ensure access to the buildings. 

  • Sunday
    • @ Immaculate Conception 9-10am, and
    • @ St Gerards 12-1pm. 
  • Monday
    • @ Immaculate Conception 11-12 noon. 
  • Tuesday
    • @ St Gerards 11-12 noon
  • Wednesday
    • @ St Gerards 11-12 noon 
  • Thursday
    • No formal opening time
  • Friday
    • @ Immaculate Conception 11-12 noon. 
  • Saturday
    • @ St Gerards 11-12 noon

These times come into effect as from Friday 6th Nov. If anyone wishes to visit and pray at any other time please let me know and I am happy to arrange a convenient time. I really do want to help people to have access. 
Masses will continue to be said and we are now able to streamline some of the masses and place the rest on Zoom.

  • Saturday evening 6pm streamed
  • Sunday 11am streamed
  • Monday 10am streamed
  • Tuesday 10am Zoom
  • Wednesday 10am streamed
  • Thursday 7pm Zoom
  • Friday 10am Zoom

The ID and passcodes for the zoom masses will be placed on the WhatsApp. This will be different to what happened last time when people emailed their interest in joining. It will mean helping people without WhatsApp but who have the internet to have access to the ID and code and I ask that you help people you know who might have this difficulty.

The Zoom Night Prayers have continued on Tuesday and Thursdays and I will introduce other opportunities on Wednesday and on Sunday. All will take place at 8-15pm and commence next week. Again the ID and pass codes will be on the WhatsApp.

By keeping in touch with each other we will be able to give support and join together in prayer. So, I will pray for thee and please, you pray for me. 
God Bless you all, Fr Desmond.
