St Saviour's News - 2 August 2020

Prize Draw - Will be drawn after mass today.  We ask that you stay in your seats as the draw is made.  Many thanks in advance to all those who gave time in promoting this and selling tickets.  Thank you also to those who very generously donated prizes.              
Public Worship - The pandemic we hear has not gone away and is very much still with us.  Please attend carefully to the safety instructions, posters and guidance from stewards and parish officers during the services.  During Holy Communion please stay in your seats and Fr Phelim will bring Holy Communion to you.  Social distancing remains our key safety precaution.  Face coverings may be worn,  according to Welsh government guidance, but are not compulsory.   We are not yet able to share communion from the chalice or exchange the peace.  Recorded hymns will be played but we can’t yet sing along with them.                        
Next Sunday - Reserve your seat at St Saviour’s mass via Liz on 07718018846                                                                                Funerals, Baptisms and Weddings-  Are also now permitted but there are still very strict and separate guidelines for each service.  We have submitted the risk assessment for funerals  but not ready yet for baptisms and weddings.  For funerals the key changes are that no Requiem Masses are permitted as yet.  Also, attendance at church based funerals is strictly by invitation only.  For more details see Fr Phelim.                        
 Condolences -  to Yvonne Heynes and David French on the loss of their mother, Dorothy, who passed away recently.  We pray for them and their families at this time. Dorothy’s funeral will be in St Saviour’s on Thurs 6 August at 2pm with her reception in church the previous evening at 5pm.   All members of St Saviour’s congregation are invited to this yet it is very important that those who would like to attend the funeral RSVP as soon as possible to Yvonne by phone or email:  02920753240 or yvonneheynes@hotmail.com
