| Current Rules on Social Distancing | |
| Introduction: Please follow the guidance of the stewards when you come | |
| for Mass or private prayer. | |
| | |
| 1. On arrival in church, you must sanitise your hands (please note there | |
| is no holy water). | |
| | |
| 2. Please sit only in spaces marked with a green dot, those in household | |
| bubbles may sit together in a pew but that means no one else can sit in that pew | |
| | |
| 3. Once Mass or private prayer is finished, you are encouraged to leave church promptly | |
| following the one-way system | |
| | |
| 4. If you wish to light a candle, please light one already in a stand using | |
| a candle already lit, this prevents the spread of germs | |
| | |
| 5. There is a collection basket at the back of church for your offering | |
| | |
