There are a limited number of spaces to ensure all who attend are safe while in the Church.

We are grateful to those parishioners who have volunteered their service as stewards for Mass in St Anthony's and would kindly ask you to follow their direction.

The entrance door for Saturday evening mass will be the main doors at the front of the Church only.

You will be asked to sanitise your hands, ensure you are wearing a mask and give details for contact tracing.

This is the next step in our gradual reopening and we remain committed to the health and safety of all who gather for public worship.

Lonely at Christmas

You sometimes hear people say, ‘I always find Christmas Day a very lonely day,’

I think what they are really saying is;

‘I always feel lonely on Christmas Day.’

Loneliness is caused chiefly by two things: absence and emptiness.

Let us spare a thought, a prayer and maybe a visit for someone who will spend Christmas alone.

And if while spending Christmas in the midst of others, we still feel lonely, let us not be alarmed.

Our hearts are always longing for something more, or rather, for Someone else.

In every human heart there is an empty chamber waiting for a guest. That guest is God.
