INCREASED CAPACITY BOOKING GUIDELINE
At St Walburga's: If you are booking for 1 or 2 people, please use the 2 people benches first as this allows those who need to book for 3 people a better chance to book a bench. If all the 1 or 2 people benches are taken, please feel free to book any of the other available benches.
At St Aidan's: If you are booking for 1 person, please use the 1 person benches first as this allows those who need to book for 2 people a better chance to book a bench. If all the 1 person benches are taken please, feel free to book any of the other available benches.

FACEMASK POLICY AT MASS in compliance with Fr Keiron's request that we maintain anti-Covid measures, please continue to wear masks when attending Mass. This helps people who may be more vulnerable to Covid-19 or to its effects to continue to feel confident about their safety while attending Mass. If you don't have one, ask a steward and one will be provided.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, courage to change the things i can and wisdom to know the difference. Trusting that he will make all things right if i surrender to his will. That i may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with him forever in the next. †

ONLINE BOKING SYSTEM UPDATE In compliance with Fr Keiron's announcement concerning increasing the capacity at weekend Masses, our resident booking system developer, Reg Phipps MBCS is adding a number of additional benches to the seating maps for the 5.45 Vigil Mass and the 9.15 Sunday Mass at St. Walburga's and at the 11 am Mass at St. Aidan's. Additional seating will be on the benches between those currently in use and will have a capacity of 1 at St Aidan's and 2 at St. Walburga's. The numbering for these seats will be congruent with that of the currently available bench immediately in front, thus creating 2 B benches, 2 C benches etc but with benches numbered 5,6,7,8 with only bench 5 and bench 8 available for booking on each second lettered bench. More information will be available on the Parish website and on the Parish FaceBook page. These additional benches will be available for booking from Monday 2 August for the Masses on the weekend of the 7/8 of August.
