Catholic Worcester

Exciting news from Catholic Worcester!! EVERY DAY IS A SUNDAY!! We are returning for Mass from next Saturday 4 July at St George's. There are strict rules and regulations. Please read the attached. They must be complied with. Each Mass will be live streamed. @RCBirmingham

We give thanks today for twenty years good and faithful service in their Ordained ministry of Deacons Chris and Reg. We congratulate them with great appreciation for the devotion to our parishes, their people and the wider Archdiocese. Ad multos annos.

Govt has published its recovery strategy. It states that churches won't open before 4 July. We'll continue to provide updates, daily reflections, regular photos & Sunday/Holy Day Mass. We are considering how we can minimise risk at Mass when we open again. Keep safe and God bless
