Our Lady of Lourdes & St Michael Catholic Church, Uxbridge

Some COVID restrictions in the church will be changing on 19th July, even though infection rates are increasing in our community. :

• Seats no longer need to be booked in advance, so just turn up to Mass. 

• We do need to take down your details on arrival or ask you to use Track and Trace. Remember, the doors of the church open 10-15 minutes before Mass begins.

• We will still sanitise your hands on arrival and clean the church after each service.

• Three pews on the sacristy side of the church (at the front) will continue to follow social distancing recommendations for those who prefer them. Elsewhere in the church, please space yourself out where possible.

• Even though many people have now been vaccinated and legal restrictions lifted, the government recommend and expect that masks continue to be worn inside the church, for everyone’s safety.

• We return on Monday to the Communion procession. Please follow the instructions from the priest and the stewards. For reasons of hygiene, Holy Communion will continue to be distributed under one form and, for hygienic reasons, we encourage reception on the hand.

• The toilets will remain closed.

• Please fold up your prams or place them in front of the glass divide at the back of the church.
