PAINTING
Painting has now begun in the church. There will be no weekday liturgies in the church from 5th May to 20th May or until further notice.
COMING TO HOLY COMMUNION:
  • Referring to the Map, YELLOW arrows indicate the path TO Holy Communion, the PURPLE arrows are the return path to your seat. Please maintain 1.5m separation on both journeys.
  • Come in SINGLE FILE (even down the centre aisle)
  • We have FOUR AREAS (A to D) in the main body of the church. If you are in Area A or D, please wait until all rows in B and C have moved forward to Communion, THEN, starting from the BACK ROW, each row comes to Communion working down to Row 1. This will keep the Communion Procession orderly while maintaining social distance.
  • HAND SANITISERS: On your procession to Communion, there are Sanitising Stations just before you move forward to the minister (at the end of Row 2 for Areas A to D, and near the BAPTISMAL FONT for Areas E , F and G ). Please use them and after doing so, JOIN YOUR HANDS TOGETHER so as to keep them sanitised in case there is an accidental contact with the minister.  You may find it easier (If coming from Areas A and D) to sanitise your hands at the holy water fonts near the front door rather than wait until just before receiving Communion).
  • Regulations stating there is NO Communion on the tongue and NO Communion from the Cup are still in place.
NEWSLETTERS AND OTHER HANDOUTS 
  • For COVID-19 reasons, please take your newsletter/prayer book etc home with you. DO NOT RETURN THEM TO THE HOLDERS in the church.
  • Finally, there are THREE EXITS – please use ONLY those doors (it will save us a lot of expense and time in cleaning the church after mass.) ALSO Sanitise your hands as you leave.
  • WE are a great community here at Stafford.  Thanks for looking out for each other and ensuring we can worship well in these times and at the same time, care for each other.
