The ‘ Events’ page is now open for you to be able to ‘book’ to attend Mass
Why do I need to book to attend a Mass?
In line with the latest Government and Diocesan Guidelines, it is most important that we can ‘track and trace’ everyone who comes to Mass in the event that someone tests positive for COVID-19 at the Mass which you have attended. It will help us to ensure that we have the number of people permitted in the Church at any one time and keep both our Priests and Parishioners safe. Therefore, you must inform us beforehand by ‘booking’ your place via our website or telephone if you are asking to attend to a particular Mass. You cannot ‘just turn up’ as you would have previously done. If your name is not on the list, you will not be able to enter the Church. Please understand that this is for your well being and that of others.
How do I book to attend a Mass ?
If you have access to the internet, then visit the ‘Events’ page our Parish website:
https://parish.rcdow.org.uk/bishopsstortford/events/
where you will find a list of Mass dates and times. Please do not book a place if you are feeling unwell or have COVID-19 related symptoms. Mass dates will be ‘released’ on the dates noted above.
Choose the Mass date/ time which you wish to attend and click on ‘Book Ticket’.
You will then be led through a short screen requiring you to enter your name and a contact telephone number for the particular Mass you wish to book. Once submitted, your details will be registered on the parish ‘guest list’ so that we are aware as to who will be attending. Your name will be checked off by one of the stewards when you arrive. Please arrive at least 20 minutes before the starting time of Mass to allow time for sanitising your hands and being shown to your place before the Mass begins. Your details will be kept for 21 days following each Mass to enable us to provide details to the ‘track & trace’ system should an outbreak occur.
