PATTERN OF MASSES FROM JANUARY 16TH UFN The Obligation to hear mass on Sundays and Holy Days is suspended during the pandemic. Saturday 12pm & 5pm Sunday 8am & 10:30am Wednesday 7pm Thursday 9:15am [live streamed only] Friday 9:15am Every Mass is broadcast live and available as a recording to watch later at facebook.com/cannockcatholic/live Futher Guidance During the past week I have had a pleasant break and also had an opportunity to think again about our provision of masses, especially in the current crisis. I thank so many of you for your prayers and good wishes and also your views about how we should proceed. You will see the new pattern of masses on the front of the Newsletter - of course, like all else at this time, it is subject to change at very short notice. In revising our pattern of masses I have taken into account the following: the heightened risk which now exists; maximising social distancing at masses; easing my own workload; and meeting the wishes of parishioners for public masses at particular times of day. There is a little more to say. During this week there has also been updated guidance on places of worship from the government bit.ly/2XHN71Y and also from the Church................
