Ready to Open for Private Prayer

 

Public Services Suspended

 Once again, we have been asked to suspend all public worship and, with heavy hearts, the priests and people of St Mary's will follow the new government guidance which comes into force from Thursday. The church will be open for individual private prayer for an hour on Sunday mornings at 10.30am and on Thursday mornings at 9.30am. 

Please note that the church is also generally 'out of bounds' for visits and other activities, except at the discretion of the parish priest and churchwardens.

A Distinguished Visitor

We were honoured to welcome Andrew Lloyd Webber to St Mary's today.

Celebration of Mass

For the time being, our only public Masses will be on Sundays at 10h30 and on Thursdays at 09h30. Doors will open a quarter of an hour before the service begins. Please do not attend if you have any Covid-19 symptoms. Please follow the instructions given in church, or guidance offered by stewards.

Church Re-opens

On this Corpus Christi Sunday, St Mary's re-opened for a time of eucharistic adoration in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament enthroned on the high altar.

Pandemic

Father Robert writes: the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of England have instructed that all places of worship must be completely closed. This is now the case at St Mary's, but our life of Christian prayer and fellowship continues through other means. The people of our congregation and parish continue to be prayed for, name by name and street by street. The daily Office and daily Mass also continue. We are staying in touch and supporting one another by email, telephone and post. May the Divine Compassion aid, sustain and protect us all.  If I can help you, or pray for you or with you, do please contact me: vicar@stmarywellingborough.org.uk
