Mothering Sunday
We extend a warm and sincere welcome to everyone to join us in worship this coming Sunday morning March 14th at 10:00AM. How good it will be to be back in Church and gathered around the table of the Lord again in person.
Letter from Father Paul
As your new Priest in Charge (Interim) I write to share with you some of my hopes and plans for our future together, and at the same time be honest about our current financial status.
A letter from Fr Paul to the parish of St Andrew’s
Our new interim Priest-in-Charge, Fr Paul Blanch, introduces himself and, hopefully, you will see him around and in church very soon. It is hoped that this letter will be seen by as many people as possible in the parish and further afield. If you know of anyone who does not have access to the internet or does not have an email address perhaps you would kindly pass a copy of Fr Paul’s letter to them.

St Andrew’s reopens 12th July
It is lovely to be able to tell you that we shall be reopening St Andrew’s from Sunday 12 July 2020. This decision has been made following a meeting of the PCC on Saturday 4 July, where we discussed the advice and guidance we have received this week and the procedures we should adopt in order to comply. We shall start with one service a week and this will be a Low Mass at 10 o’clock on Sundays only. We may in future weeks extend this to a Wednesday morning mass as well.
