In light of COVID-19, we are continuing to follow government restrictions to combat the pandemic. Although Catholic churches remain closed to the public until further notice, a statement by the Metropolitan Archbishops, representing the Bishops of England and Wales, made it clear that planning is underway for the re-opening of Catholic churches when restrictions are eased. Discussions with the statutory public health agencies and government representatives are ongoing. As the Government’s restrictions are relaxed, we look forward to opening our churches and resuming our liturgical, spiritual, catechetical and pastoral life step by step.
