Extraordinary Ministers
Extraordinary Ministers
Lay people assist the ordained priest and deacon (the Ordinary Ministers) in the distribution of Holy Communion at Mass and to the housebound. They are therefore called Extraordinary Ministers.
Extraordinary Ministers receive a formal training programme, are commissioned annually and are expected to attend a half day of reflection and renewal each year.
If you wish to volunteer for this role, please speak to Father John or to Deacon Jolyon.

Refurbishing the Church
Our church is currently in the hands of contractors undergoing a much needed refurbishment. You can see some of the work underway in the gallery above and at: “The contractors are in!” on this page. We hope the work will be finished before the end of July, when the Church should be able to open again for public worship, coronavirus regulations permitting. In the meantime, if the Church is not available, daily Mass may be held in the Parish Centre.
Join us
See streaming opportunities, reflections and prayers either on our weekly Newsletter, or the “COVID-19” page. In the meantime, the Parish Centre is available for private prayer in the presence of the Holy Sacrement between 10.00 and 12.00 noon on Fridays. For arrangements to attend Mass, see the “Getting Back to Church” page above.
