As you know, the Government has indicated May 18th as the next date of the lifting of restrictions, St Nicholas Church will be re-open on May 18th, daily from 9.00am-3.00pm (except in the case of a Funeral Service). The re-opening of St Nicholas Church is just for private visits. There will be No Organised Prayer moments while the church is open.
It is not enough simply to re-open the Church, we must continue to take steps in promoting good public health safeguards. Hand Sanitisers will be available in appropriate locations in the church Entrance and Exit. (doors will be designated as Entrance and Exit.) We ask that you adhere to social distancing guidelines of 2 meters.
Mass will continue, for now, to be celebrated behind closed doors.
The Government has indicated July 20th as the date when small public celebrations may begin. We are grateful that we can take this first step in re-opening the Church. It has been a painful time for people not to be able to visit and say a prayer, so this is good news.
Let us remember one another in prayer.
