Dear Parishioners,

Following the visit of Kirsty Wright, Diocese Head of Property and subsequently consulting the situation with Chair of Property Commission, Fr Petroc Cobb, the arrangement had been reached, that as of now and until further notice the cordoned off area of the church cannot be entered. Thanks to quick response of Diocese, we can now with great joy announce, that the Sunday mass will be said as planned. The entry to the church will be accessible from both sides of the church.  

Please adhere to the health and safety precautions present in the church. If you are planning the visit outside the mass times, please do so in the office opening times, Wed- Fri between 9am-2pm.

If there will be any further incidents of crumbling, the arrangement will be revised.

Many thanks for your engagement and your understanding.  

God Bless, 

Fr Anil
