We pray for peace in the world, for the sick – especially the housebound who are no longer able to join us at Holy Mass - and those in need, for vocations, and for Father Dick Healey, for the repose of the souls of those who have died recently, and all of the Faithful Departed. Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory be.

- THE eucharistic fast.
Since November 1964 the Eucharistic fast has been reduced to one hour. This means that food and drink may always be taken up to one hour before the time of receiving Holy Communion. Water does not break the fast and so may be taken at any time before receiving Holy Communion.
The Canon Law of the Catholic Church indicates that no period of fasting, before receiving Holy Communion, is required for those who are sick (Canon 919.3). Members of the Church who are looking after the sick, and wishing to receive Holy Communion with them, whenever they are unable to observe the fast without inconvenience may receive Holy Communion.
- SAFEGUARDING.
Children who need to use the toilet while at the church must always be accompanied by their parent or guardian. This is a requirement of the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA), which is our Church’s national safeguarding agency.
