IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
COVID-19 and the current lockdown
As you all know Places of Worship are open; however given the continued risk of transmission of the new variants, it is extremely important that we remain meticulous with our face coverings, hand hygiene and social distancing to ensure everyone remains safe.
Please make certain that your face covering is in place before entering the church itself where you will find hand sanitiser.
In addition, please be reminded that you "must not mingle with anyone outside of your household or support bubble" whilst in church or outside.
Track and Trace contact information requirements if attending Mass
From the weekend of 24th April, you are no longer asked to contact Fr Paul to book your place at Mass unless you are new to the Parish, are visiting or have not attended church for some time. Should any of the these apply, please telephone 01889 562082 or email: stmary.uttoxeter@rcaob.org.uk with your name/contact details to book your place. This will be the only time you will be required to do so.
It is important to have contact information so that in the event that someone attending the same Mass as yourself shortly afterwards tests positive for Covid-19, it is imperative that you can be traced immediately, and therefore to do this our records need to be precise.

The River Does Not Divide Us: Pentecost Novena for the Care of Creation.
A nine day period of private or public prayer to obtain special graces, to implore special favours, or make special petitions. (Novena is derived from the Latin novem, meaning nine.) As the definition suggests, the novena has always had more of a sense of urgency and neediness.
Please set aside a time to embrace the depth of both the prayer and the cause.

We are all encouraged to celebrate, live and share God’s word throughout this exciting Scripture initiative led by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales and Bible Society.
