A Message from Bishop Mark - Click here.
The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales recognise that this time of the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting every person in our countries. Those who are sick, and their families, are suffering many hardships of isolation from contact with those they love.
Our front-line workers in hospitals and in care homes all over our lands are giving exceptional service to those who are vulnerable at this time.
In order to show a spiritual solidarity with all those who are involved in the ways described above, at 7.00pm each Thursday, a Catholic Bishop will celebrate Mass in their Cathedral which will be live-streamed for people to join.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols celebrated the first Mass in Westminster Cathedral at 7.00pm on 23rd April.
Remaining dates, up to the 9th July, are as follows (click on the Cathedral name to access he live feed):

Local and National Public Health restrictions have been increased given the high numbers of infections and patients in hospital. It is vital that we all play our part.

Please note that the minimum amount that can be donated is £5.
Need Help? A small team of volunteers has formed to keep in touch with those who are isolated at home as a precaution or due to illness.
The team can deliver essential groceries, drop off/collect prescriptions at surgeries and pharmacies, and post mail as well as have a friendly chat on the phone.
Please contact Pete Graham (07505 355559) or Kevin Powell (07770 611488) if you need help from the team, or if you would like to help.
