With the start of the new lockdown we will be heeding Government advice and will no longer have mass in church apart from the recorded mass for Sunday. This mass will be said in private.
Fr Ciaran & Fr Robbie will continue to say daily private mass and will offer up the intentions as printed in the newsletter.
Private prayer at St Mary’s Church, Bodmin during the week will be from 10.00am until 11am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. The church will close immediately after the prayer hour.
You are expected to wear a face covering immediately before entering and it must kept on until you leave. A steward will be there to sanitise hands and to clean the church after it closes.

Due to the ongoing Covid 19 we have to take great care in the way we come together.
It is important to follow the guidelines below:

Track and Trace
We are obliged to fill out the forms for each mass we attend with the time and date of mass also. This is an added precaution we are taking in case we are contacted by the Track & Trace system. This would only happen if they are notified of a person who has attended one of our masses and has gone on to show symptoms. The forms will be available at the door on entry.
We have to the best of our ability and Government/Diocese guidelines made Church a safe space for our parishioners to attend
