VOLUNTEER STEWARDS TO ENABLE THE
RE-OPENING OF OUR CHURCHES
We would all like our churches
to be open for private prayer, however, to enable this to happen we need
volunteers to come forward, willing to go on a rota to supervise the visitation
of churches.
If and when we are able to
open, Father has agreed it will be for three days initially – Sunday, Wednesday
& Friday, from 10am until 12noon. (These days and times will be assessed and
altered if necessary.)
You will already be aware that
the Diocese has sent out the call for volunteers to act as Stewards, to assist in
the safe re-opening of churches in light of the current coronavirus pandemic
(Covid-19), in order to guarantee a caring supervision of people and to ensure
their safety within our churches when they are open.
There are a few instructions
from the Diocese we have to adhere to before we can consider opening and
these are set out below;- A Steward
must be either currently DBS cleared (if they hold a role in the parish)
or be Volunteer Registered with the Diocese before they can be accepted.
- Online
safeguarding training in relation to hygiene is available online via the
Diocese.
- Finally,
the Diocese is asking each volunteer to sign a declaration confirming they
are not excluded from performing the role.
After 3 months of shutdown our churches
will need volunteer parishioners to do a full clean before we can reopen.
Stewards will need to prepare
of the church for those who wish to enter for private prayer only and,
ensure that the official guidance on social distancing and use of hand sanitizer
is adhered to.
If you have time and would like to volunteer, please contact by text our Parish Safeguarding Representative: Bernadette Loffler 0788 4465424 (Phone if you don’t have a mobile phone} for further information.
Please continue to make your Offertory donation to God and our Parish each week. This can be done during the present situation either by putting aside your offering each week and bringing it all to church once life is normalised again or, you might consider setting-up a STANDING ORDER with your bank for a monthly amount.
You may view and print-off a STANDING ORDER MADATE for either
St Mary's, Samlesbury HERE
