Dear Friends,
We are delighted to announce that St Hugh’s will be resuming the celebration of the Eucharist at 9.30am from Sunday 19 July.
We are currently working on the plans and risk assessments for this and there will be some changes to the way we worship since you were last in St Hugh’s.
Because St Hugh’s is a small church we will be asking people to wear a face covering whilst you are with us, and sadly we will not be able to sing. There will be fewer seats and we will ask you to physically distance from each other. Hand sanitiser is available for you to use when entering and leaving the church.
Morning Prayer and Compline continues to be streamed daily at 9.00am and 8.00pm, together with the celebration of the Eucharist on Sundays at 11.00am. You can watch these services online at facebook.com/southwarkcathedral
It will be really wonderful to welcome you back to St Hugh’s and to worship together again from Sunday 19 July. Please do keep us in your prayers as we prepare to reopen, as we pray for you.
Fr Michael
