“Lord it is good for us to be here”, are the words of St Peter at the Transfiguration. They express how we felt last

weekend as we celebrated Mass in the church as the parish community of St Paul’s. Thank you to all who

have come for Mass, please pass on the word to others in our parish that you know. Tell them what it was like,

invite them to come with you.For those who are still shielding at present, if you would like Holy Communion

brought to you at home please let us know and we will make the necessary arrangements.

Cardinal Vincent also reminds us that the obligation to come to Sunday Mass is lifted so he suggests you

might come during the week instead when we don’t have as many people

Please note the times of Masses:

These will be the times of Masses until further notice.The main doors of the church will be opened 15minutes before Mass begins.

In response to Government guidance and for your safety, we will be asking for your contact details before you come to mass, so that

individuals can be notified in the event of any suspected Covid-19 case. The guidance clearly states that parishioners and visitors may opt

out of sharing their name and contact details. Thus, no one should be compelled to provide their name and number f they do not wish to

do so. Please visit our Parish Website for details  https://parish.rcdow.org.uk/woodgreen/test-trace/

KEY THINGS TO REMEMBERWHEN COMING TO THE CHURCHFOR MASS

It is important to note that the celebration of

our Sunday Masses will be more like a

weekday. At present we can have no singing

in church and the Mass should last no longer

than 30 minutes.

Please be patient at the time of Holy

Communion - remain in your seat, until you

are asked to move by one of the stewards.

Parking will be available in the school

playground at the weekend - we would ask

that you walk around to use the main door

of the church on Station Road.

The toilets will be closed until furthernotice.All parishioners are asked to wear a face

covering. (We will no longer be providingmasks after this weekend 12th July.For those who wish to go to confession

please call to arrange a time to come. We are

unable to hear confessions on Sunday before

or after Masses.

If you are displaying symptoms or have

displayed symptoms of Covid19 or been in

contact with someone who has displayed

symptoms within the last 14 days you should

not enter the church.If you are over 70, have

a pre-existing health condition or have been

shielding please consider very carefully

whether now is the right time for you to take

this step.

We are taking all the precautions we can to

ensure a Covid19 safe environment but we

cannot completely eliminate all risk.We want

assure you that we have made the church as

safe a place as possible for us to gather in

prayer and to celebrate Mass.

Thank you to those who have volunteered to

help with stewarding and cleaning of the

church.Please consider giving your help in

this way.Without your help we will be unable

to continue celebrating the Masses.

Members of these two teams should be

deemed healthy and fit prior to

commencement of volunteering.

At present this excludes those who are deemed

vulnerable (over 70 years, and/or with certain pre-

existing health conditions, self-isolating or shielding).

This may change.

If you can help with this please emailwoodgreen@rcdow.org.uk or call 020 8888 2390. Welook forward to seeing you back at St Paul's Church.

Here are some words of Pope Francis on the Gospel we

will have at Mass this weekend 12th July.

“This parable speaks to each of us today….it reminds us

that we are the land where the Lord tirelessly throws the

seed of his word and his love. What is our disposition

when we receive it? How is our heart?......It’s up to us to

become good soil….”.

We have now sent all the Planned Giving Envelopes by

post. If you haven't received your box please call the parish

office.Our apologies to those parishioners who have been

asked to pay an extra £1.50 (not all people have been

asked) by the Post Office. One package was taken to the

Post Office to be weighed and measured for the correct

postage, before we posted them out to everyone.

As we have had no collections in church since March we

hope you will consider continuing to support St Paul's

Church at this time of crisis. We are cutting costs where

appropriate but it would be of immense help if you would

consider supporting the parish by setting up a regular

standing order or you can do a BACS payment if you prefer.
