Registration for Sunday Mass

Opens on Wednesday @ 6.00 pm and closes on Saturday @ 6.00 pm.

Due to the limited number of seats available not everyone will be able to attend Mass every week. To give everyone an equal opportunity to attend, we ask you to consider registering for a Mass every alternate week. However, if places are still available just before registration closes (Saturday 6.00 pm) then feel free to book it.

The parish is taking all reasonable measures to prevent a case of COVID-19 from entering our site, however, there is still an element of risk. For contact tracing purposes, we will need the contact number of one person from every household that attends. Before making a booking we recommend that you take into consideration your own personal situation especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or if you fall into a high risk category. After booking and you find you are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible; Mass places are limited and releasing your seat could give someone else an opportunity to attend. Please stay at home if you or anyone in your family is feeling unwell. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe.

Seating Plan

The seating plan is colour coded to reflect the different lengths and the number of people from different households we can safely accommodate on our benches. The black circles represent the distance necessary to maintain social distancing between different households.

Blue circles - seats designated for singles.

Red circles - seats designated for couples (or 1 adult + 1 child). Singles may book this seat if blue circles are not available.

Yellow circles - bench designated for family groups with 3 or more people. Booking a yellow circle is equivalent to booking the whole bench. Singles or Couples may book a yellow circle if blue or red circles are not available.

Green circles - are for telephone bookings.
