Pope Francis says,
The Solemnity of the Ascension lifts our gaze upwards, beyond earthly
things. At the same time, it reminds us of the mission the Lord has entrusted to us here on earth. May the Holy Spirit guide us in the battle we must wage.'    #Pontifex.

Cleaning and Stewarding
Sincere thanks
to all who are helping with cleaning and stewarding, and thanks to our
sacristans.
Please contact me if you can help, and if you are a new volunteer you would
be most welcome.
It was great to get back to Mass during the past week and thanks to
all who made it possible by sacrifices made over the past months.

Pope Francis is encouraging us to say a Rosary each day in May for an end to
the pandemic.

Government guidelines for religious services are available at the back of the churches.
They are:
• 2 meters social distancing,
• masks and hand sanitizer to be used,
• separate
entrance and exit,
• no meeting up before or after Mass,
• stewards to assist.
Also 1st
Communions and Confirmation are not to take place at this time. Bishop Deenihan has asked us to postpone 1st Communion until September and we have decided to do so. Confirmation will proceed when it is safe to do so.
