The Sunday collection last week amount to €2,860. The Sunday Collection is taken up in the church porches on entry to and exit from Mass. Many thanks for your great generosity and your use of the parish envelope.
Parishioners are asked please to continue to wear face masks, sanitise their hands on entry into the church, and be mindful of social distancing. Holy Communion is received on the hand only.
St Peter’s Parish, after consultation, and in union with parishes throughout the country, returns today to the pre-Covid way of distributing Holy Communion, ie, people coming to the priest or Eucharistic Minister at various stations. In so far as possible, please observe a one-way system back to your seats. If anyone is unable to walk to the nearest Communion station, they should please raise their hand for the priest or Minister to come to them. Holy Communion is still received on the hand only. If you are Coeliac, you are welcome to receive Communion at any Mass by coming to the altar at the time of the Our Father. Please come to the right side; Ministers of Eucharist will be on the left.
Rosary, Exposition and Benediction this Sunday evening in St Peter’s Church at 5.00pm.
There will be a second envelope next weekend for the Central Diocesan Fund. This envelope goes towards the running of the Diocesan Curia in Armagh, its safeguarding and youth offices, and the Diocesan Pastoral Office and its initiatives, including the Synodal Way.
