Deo gratias! \n We are now allowed to add six more slots, making our number twenty-five slots. The Mass schedule we \n will stick to as it works for the time being. If you haven’t been to Mass for a long time, there is no \n pressure. If you want an easy way to come back, I would recommend the evening Masses in the week \n as they are shorter and there are less people in the church. We recommend you to use the track and \n trace QR code on entering the church. There are very simple instructions on how to load the app, if you \n don’t already have it! \n I also strongly recommend the sacrament of confession before you come back to communion and I will \n be offering confessions in June before all the Masses. Mass bookings for the Friday evening and \n weekend will still happen. \n Holy Communion will now be distributed whilst seated at the pew. Masks must still be worn in church \n and you are asked to sanitise your hands upon entering and exiting the building. Congregational singing \n isn't allowed quite yet, but let us hope that we can all raise our voices in praise of God very soon. \n We are in the final process of agreeing on a company to place in the church a static camera. Please \n support Millie in her cycling quest, if you can give, it would be a huge relief. No one likes asking for \n money, I am sorry. \n Next week I am going on holiday. I want to thank everyone for their help and support during this time. \n Please keep Jean and her family in your prayers on the death of her husband, Mike Smallwood. \n I hope that we can have a parish summer party as soon as we are allowed to share food as faith has \n been the rock this last year, but we also like each others company and joy! \n A very Blessed Pentecost to you all……………………..Fr Gerard","bbox":{"left":0.048461,"top":0.029879,"width":0.8950610000000001,"height":0.646078}}],"images_bbox":[{"left":0.047137,"top":0.033359,"width":0.228946,"height":0.162183},{"left":0.127965,"top":0.68417,"width":0.740807,"height":0.281428}],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[{"left":0.047137,"top":0.033359,"width":0.228946,"height":0.162183},{"left":0.127965,"top":0.68417,"width":0.740807,"height":0.281428}]}
