My dear Parishioners
It is my duty to officially report to you that all church activity in Church of Ireland parishes and indeed in other religious denominations has been suspended until further notice. You will understand that in the ongoing health crisis there is no alternative to this. Consequently it will not be possible to hold Sunday School or Church Services indefinitely. I particularly regret that we cannot go ahead with our special Mothering Sunday Service.
In these unprecedented circumstances it is necessary to ‘stick together’ as a parish, as a community and as a nation by remaining ‘separate’ from one another. May God bless and direct you and your families and all whom you love. I will endeavor to keep as closely in touch with you as possible in these challenging times. It goes without saying that if I can be of any assistance to you or anyone else, particularly the isolated and the vulnerable of all ages, please do not hesitate to contact me.
With kind regards & prayerful good wishes
Your sincere friend & Rector
Robert Howard
