VOLUNTEER STEWARDS TO ENABLE THE
RE-OPENING OF OUR CHURCHES

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. 

If you are able, could you, please, offer to go on a rota to oversee the safety of our people when in church at Holy Mass etc.
 
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.

 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
