CORONAVIRUS SITUATION

Mass in the Churches

For mass to be open to the public, every precaution must be taken to make sure the

Church is as safe as possible and one of the measures to ensure this is that “a social

distancing measure of 2 metres should be observed. The capacity of the Church should

be calculated on this basis.” We are calculating these at present, but the capacities of the

three parish Churches will be greatly reduced. In considering the numbers and safe

provision it may not be possible to have mass in St MacNisssius’ Church, Tannaghmore

for the present.

Stewards are needed to assist with organizing the seating of people for mass and

cleaning of seats after mass. For weekend mass stewards will need to be prepared to give

2 hours and for weekday masses to give 1 hour. Hopefully this will be on a rota basis

depending on the number of volunteers. Training will be given. The role of the stewards

is vital for the provision of public mass and without stewards it will not be possible to

have mass.

The proposed schedule for mass is as follows:

From Mon 13th July Mass

St. Comgall’s - Mon, Wed & Fri @ 10am

St Joseph’s - Tues & Thurs @ 10am, Friday @ 7pm

Sunday Masses:

St Comgall’s - 10am

St Joseph’s: - 5.30pm Vigil (Sat) & 12noon

If you are willing to be a steward, please send an email to

parishpriest@antrimparish.co.uk or phone 94428016 giving your name, contact details

and preference for availability to be a steward. In anticipation of your support, thank

you.

The opening of the Church for private prayer will end on Saturday 11th July.

Collections: Some Parishioners have asked how they can make their contributions for the support of

the Parish. The simplest way is by Standing Order with your bank. Parish Bank details are as follows:

Account Title: Parish of Antrim

Sort Code: 95-02-02 Account Number: 41020498

Postponement of Parish Draw

Due to the Covid 19 virus the next run of the Parish Draw has had to be postponed and will be

launched at a later date. Thank you to all our members and promoters for their loyal support over the

years.

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

We pray for Pope Francis and the bishops priests and deacons who bring the Scriptures to us

and the words of Jesus to teach us how to live our lives as faithful Christians

Lord, hear us

We pray for our priests and those who assist them at this time to find a safe way to make it

possible for us to gather together in our churches again for Mass and Devotions. Lord teach

us to be patient and help in any way we can to make their task easier

Lord, hear us

We pray for those who are anxious or finding it hard to cope with the restrictions and

demands of keeping safe while the coronavirus is still with us. Lord, stay close to us at this

time

Lord, hear us

We pray for the sick and all who care for them in hospitals, Care Homes and in their own

homes. May Jesus who healed the sick and loved the poor and vulnerable keep close to them

and help them to cope

Lord, hear us

We pray for those who have died especially those whom we remember now :

All those named in the bulletin

may their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace with God where there is

no more pain or suffering; we pray for those who mourn that they may be consoled.

Lord, hear us

Priest: We come together in spirit to praise God, to thank him for the gift of life to ask for

his grace in our lives and to bring our needs to him humbly knowing that he loves us

Priest: Loving God hear these our prayers and our unspoken prayers which we bring to

you through your Son Jesus who is Lord forever and ever. Amen.
