St. Mary's Parish welcomes everyone to attend Mass.
We welcome the opening up of our places of worship but remain mindful and respectful that many in our community remain feeling cautious. As always, our priority is care for others and especially those most vulnerable.
Hand sanitiser will remain available at the church entrance, as will masks if you feel more comfortable using them. Social distancing is always recommended.
