Our Lady of Mount Carmel & St George

REOPENING THE CHURCH FOR PUBLIC SERVICES

The Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel & St George is now open for Mass. We are delighted to welcome you back!

In order to provide a safe and clean environment for all the following changes have been introduced:

Church Opening Hours

Monday – Saturday: 11am – 2pm

Saturday evening: 5.30pm – 7pm

Sunday: 7.30am – 1.30pm

All visitors to the church are advised that they must observe social distancing and follow the guidance of stewards. For the sake of everyone’s safety we would appreciate if you could bring your own hand sanitiser with you. Face masks are not compulsory at the moment, but will be expected from 8th August. Please note that the toilet facilities are not open to the public. 

Mass, in the short-term, will be a bit simpler: there will be no singing and the Holy Communion will be distributed at the end of the Mass. To manage numbers and safety for everyone new timings of Masses have been introduced.

Mass Times

Monday – Friday: 12noon

Saturday: 12 noon, 6pm

Sunday: 8am, 10am, 12noon

Mass can be watched daily at 12noon https://www.catholicenfield.org/live-stream/

The capacity of the church for each Mass is 100 people (which includes additional seating in the Parish Centre). All visitors to the church are advised that due to social distancing, when the allowed safe number of the faithful is reached, no more faithful will be able to enter the church.

The obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days is still removed, therefore to ease the pressure of numbers at Sunday Mass and to allow a gradual return to the Eucharist for more people, everyone is encouraged to consider attending Mass once a week only. An opportunity to support the parish and donate to the Offertory Collection will be available at the end of every Mass (Monday – Sunday).

We apologise for the inconvenience and ask for your understanding and cooperation.
