FR PAT WRITES: “It is a great joy to welcome back a growing number of people to Mass on Sundays, and particularly so during the week. We will continue having the extra Mass on Sunday evening for the holiday season and review matters in September. I am delighted that Deacon Peter Lafferty is with us each weekend whilst Fr. Tomasz is on vacation in Poland. Peter together with his wife Shirley are very much at home in St. Hugh and St. John’s and enjoy being with us. I feel blessed with your ongoing support, spiritual and practical, to enable me to continue undertaking my priestly ministry during this time of recovery. Some of you have been joining the Virtual Shrewsbury Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes for 2020 this past week. The very extensive range of Masses, services and special features which give our Diocesan pilgrimage a unique flavour has been created very skilfully through a gifted use of technology involving many priests and people in our Diocese. You can access it on www.shrewsburylourdes.com . As we look forward to the 2021 pilgrimage it may encourage people who have never been to consider going. COVID-19 - As from 8th August 2020 it is mandatory to wear face coverings in churches and places of worship. People have been adhering to this since the church has reopened, so in practice nothing has changed. For face-covering exemptions please follow government advice or check with the parish office if you are not sure. |
