LATEST UPDATE (15th January 2021)
National Lockdown
The situation, both locally and nationally, continues to be a matter of concern and it is essential that we all take the greatest care at this time. Although the lockdown regulations do allow for communal acts of worship and for churches to be open, taking into account the overriding message to ‘Stay at Home’ and out of concern for the health and well-being of all concerned, the public celebration of mass at Our Lady Immaculate is suspended for the time being. The church will also remain closed during the week but will be open for individual visits on Sundays from 10.00 a.m. – 11.00 a.m. (Note the revised time).
The ‘church of home’ is, once again, as important as ever and our prayers, though offered alone, are always in communion with and the through our Lord.
