St Columba’s and St Malachy’s are open for the celebration of Mass

In order to attend Mass a place has to be booked and we have to keep a record of who attends Mass together with their contact details for 21 days which would be used by “Track and Trace” if required. These details will be taken at the time of booking. Bookings should preferably be made through the website (www.stcolumbascatholicchurch.com). Those without internet access should ring either Fr Michael on 361682  or Marina on 07768 875708 being careful to leave their name and phone number and the Mass they wish to attend in any message. The booking system needs to be reasonably flexible to reflect the different sized groups in which parishioners come to church and so each ticket refers to a space which includes social distance –one ticket will accommodate a single person or a couple; two tickets will accommodate a family group. There is no need to reserve more than two tickets to reserve an appropriate space for your family.

Masses are being celebrated as follows:

Saturday      6.30pm       St Malachy’s          Capacity of up to 90 people

Sunday        9.00am       St Malachy’s          Capacity of up to 90 people

Sunday        11.00am       St Malachy’s          Capacity of up to 90 people

Wednesday 12noon        St Columba’s         Capacity of up to 24 people

Friday        12noon         St Columba’s                Capacity of up to 24 people

Don’t forget to reserve your place at your chosen Mass!!

ROSARY-1 (1)

Sean Elliott

At the end of September Sean Elliott, who is preparing for the priesthood, joined our Parishes. He has completed his academic studies at the Venerable English College in Rome and will join us for an extended pastoral experience until Easter next year. Clearly there are some real challenges presented by the Covid pandemic making it difficult to offer the normal parish experience at this time, but it is important to make his placement as fruitful as possible for Sean.

Ordination to the Diaconate of Chris Butler

Chris had been n touch to say: “The ordination took place uneventfully on Wednesday (17th June). It was a scaled down affair in the College chapel rather than the Basilica with the Archpriest of the Basilica, Cardinal Harvey, presiding. There were the precautions you would expect, face masks, sanitisers etc. There were no guests. I must admit that having something that was comparatively simple suited me. I attach a few photos that maybe in interest to you, Sister Anne and others.

Many more are available via the Diocesan website.” (dioceseofleeds.org.uk)

Research Survey of the Catholic Community

Research Survey of the Catholic Community under/post COVID-19.

In partnership with Catholic Voices, Professor Francis Davis at the University of Birmingham, Professor Leslie Francis of the University of Warwick and Professor Andrew Village of York St John University, are currently undertaking a major survey of UK Christian responses to the present crisis and its potential impact on the future perspectives of UK Christians.

This survey is intended to capture specifically Catholic experience and help us understand it better. It takes the form of an online questionnaire.
