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.
