Mass Resuming
Dear Parishioners, From Saturday 4 July, Mass can again be celebrated publicly. There is no obligation to come to Mass so you might want to come to a weekday Mass instead of Sunday, in order to keep the numbers down (not the normal wishes of a parish priest!) Unfortunately admittance will be on a first come first served basis. The same rules will apply as for visiting the church for private prayer (which will continue – please see the opening times at the end of the newsletter). The wearing of a mask for Mass will be a requirement (like on public transport) because social distancing can’t be guaranteed. Fr Patrick Church Reopening Volunteer Form

FOURTEENTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR What makes Jesus’ yoke “easy”? A good yoke is carefully shaped to reduce chafing to a minimum. Jesus promises that his yoke will be kind and gentle to our shoulders, enabling us to carry our load more easily. That is what he means when he says his burden is “light”. Actually it might be quite heavy, but we will find it possible to carry our responsibilities. Why? Because Jesus will help us. Usually a yoke joined a pair of oxen and made them a team. It is as though Jesus tells us, ‘Walk alongside me; learn to carry the burdens by observing how I do it. If you let me help you, the heavy labour will seem lighter.’ Cardinal Joseph Bernardin The Gift of Peace
