Back to Church Sunday - If you are visiting us for the first time then we warmly welcome you.  Likewise, if you are attending and haven’t visited in a while we are delighted to see you back.  We hope your visit today will give some insight or reminder as to why it is that our belonging to a faith community brings much value and coherence to our lives.  If you’d like a chat about exploring faith more please see Fr Phelim.          

Next Sunday - Reserve your seat at St Saviour’s mass via Liz on 07718018846.      

Public Worship & COVID -  With the recent increase in the national R rate and a ramping up of restrictions and precautions from now on we will ask everyone to wear a face covering. We do acknowledge however that Some people are exempt from wearing theses for various reasons.   Places of worship have been exempted from the indoor rule of six (at the minute) but it is likely as the Autumn and Winter progress that other restrictions or suspensions of worship may take place.  For now, we are thankful that we can worship in church according to our tradition.  Please attend carefully to the safety instructions, posters and guidance from stewards and parish officers during the services.
