Churches reopen for worship...

1/7/2020

 I rejoiced when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD".
                                                    Psalm 122

​On 4th July our churches will open again for the celebration of Mass.
This is a wonderful moment we have all waited for, when we can partake again in the Mass, which lies at the centre of our faith.
​In this short video Cardinal Nichols speaks to us about resuming public liturgies.
​Let us reflect on the beautiful words of this hymn at this special time:

'All are welcome in this place'
