Mission of the Church
The Mission of the Church is given by Our Lord Jesus Christ, as recorded at the close of the Gospel of Matthew; Our Lord says; "go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19)
The Mission of the Church therefore informs every aspect of the work of the Parish. 'Making Disciples' has to therefore be the reason behind all that we do.
Pope Francis states in his Apostolic Exhortation “The Joy of the Gospel" the following words;
"I dream of a 'missionary option', that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church’s customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channelled for the evangelisation of today’s world rather than for her self-preservation. The renewal of structures demanded by pastoral conversion can only be understood in this light."
Face Masks
While face masks are no longer a legal requirement in places of worship from, it is recommended that they continue to be used in high-risk environments
Due to our size and layout this applies to our church, therefore we ask that everyone continues to wear face masks when attending church. If you do not wear a face mask, you may be preventing those who are more vulnerable from attending Mass safely. Please help allow everyone to attend Mass safely by wearing a face mask at all times in the church.
Stewards will continue to check that those entering the church are wearing a face mask and sanitising their hands.
