MASS STREAMED FROM CATHEDRALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales recognise that this time of the COVID-19
pandemic is affecting every person in our countries. Those who are sick, and their
families, are suffering many hardships of isolation from contact with those they love.
Our front-line workers in hospitals and in care homes all over our lands are giving
exceptional service to those who are vulnerable at this time.
In order to show a spiritual solidarity with all those who are involved in the ways
described above, each week from this Thursday, a Catholic Bishop will celebrate Mass
in their Cathedral. More details available here.

[mc4wp_form id=”3253″]STANDING ORDERS
With the present lockdown the parish income has been greatly reduced, because parishioners are unable to make their usual offerings in the collection.
In the light of this I should be most grateful if parishioners would consider setting up a Standing Order to the parish.
If you feel you would like to do this, please email me parishpriest@standrewscottam.org.uk and I shall forward you the parish account details.
Many thanks for your generosity. Canon Adrian
