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) once the system is installed early this week. Those without internet access should ring Fr Michael on 361682 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!!

St Columba’s 200 Club – BIG DRAW – September

We would like to start the prize draws from September (Big Draw) and as many people have already paid up in advance we are suggesting having a ‘catch up’ prize draw within this year’s subscriptions to cover the missing months if the number of people still subscribing allows. The draws will be recorded and available for anyone to view (until the Hall has re-opened).

If you haven’t yet paid your subscriptions up to date (due to the current situation) but would like to continue with the 200 club if you can please pass your payments to either Fr Michael, Marina, Pauline or Winifred who will make sure that Julie & Kath get the up-to-date subscription information.

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.
