Bulletins available in all Churches
Returning to Mass
Crossmolina Church will open for Mass on
Tuesday, 21st July at 9am.
The dispensation from the Sunday and Holyday
obligation is extended for the time being.
Mass on Tues, Wed, Thurs at 9am, Fri at 11am.
Side isles will be closed off for weekday Masses
Weekends as usual in all Churches
No Masses on Mondays
Three people in every second seat. Maximum number allowed will be publicly
displayed at the entrance of all Churches
We must ensure that the required physical distance
is maintained during all liturgies, some seating rows
(every second one) will be closed off. One person
or one household of two people could sit at either
end of a row. Any larger group (family or house-
hold) would occupy a row to themselves.
Extra people can listen in their car outside Church.
Participation over the week is encouraged rather
than having everybody turn up on Sunday.
Sunday Masses will be limited to two intentions,
People will be asked to leave the Church gradually
after Mass and encouraged not to gather outside,
so that social distancing is maintained. Those who are sick or have any symptoms of or
confirmed COVID-19 should stay at home. Cocooning volunteers or lay ministers should be
sensitively invited, having carefully weighed the
risks and benefits, to give an indication as to
whether they choose to stay at home or to con-
tinue in their public ministry, in which case they
should be advised to be cautious and prudent in
respect of the activities in which they engage.
Seating areas, door-handles and other key touch
points will be thoroughly sanitised after Mass.
All people are advised to wear masks
Boxes will be placed at entrance of the Church for
contribution envelopes, to avoid the need for peo-
ple to pass collection baskets or bags.
Holy Water fonts will remain empty.
No Altar Servers for the time being
We have now set up a Parish support team for all Four
Churches. Many thanks to all who came to our meet-
ings to offer help & support as we work together for the
Health & Safety of our Community.

The festival will run from July 23rd to 26th - Nephin Festival 2020 (A World APART,

Returning to Mass
Distribution of Holy Communion The following protocols will be followed:
Priests and ministers must sanitise their hands
before and after distributing Holy Communion
The priest/minister must wear protective face-
covering for the distribution of Holy Communion.
Holy Communion will be distributed in the hand
only for the foreseeable future
Holy Communion can be placed reverently in
the hand of the person receiving in such a way
that there is no hand to hand contact
People will be invited to approach Holy Com-
munion in single file, by seat row, and
maintaining physical distance.
The experience of the pandemic has called upon us,
to live the reality of Church in a new way. As we
prepare to gather again for the Eucharist and for the
Sacraments and to resume the pastoral life of the
Church our twofold objective is:
1. to provide the opportunity for people to be
strengthened, renewed and inspired by the
mystery of God’s love for us
2. to express that love in our own care for one an-
other
Cleaning Crossmolina Church We are looking for help on this Thursday morning after 9am mass to sweep, dust and vacuum St Tiernan’s Church. Normal clean-ing rotas will resume the following week for those who wish to continue on their cleaning roster. (Team B is rostered for July).
Cocooning volunteers may prefer to stay at home during the pandemic at this stage. A new group has been set up for the
sanitization of St Tiernan’s Church on a weekly basis.
If you have any concerns please contact the Parish Office on 096 31677.
