LOURDES PARISH

Welcome to our parish website!
Our Lady of Lourdes parish is a Roman Catholic parish in Cardonald, on the South Side of Glasgow. We exist to preach the Word of God and celebrate the Sacraments recalling the words of the patron of our city, St. Mungo: "Let Glasgow flourish by the preaching of thy Word and the praising of thy name!" Parish Priest: Very Rev. David J Canon Wallace In residence: Rev. Neil Donnachie (retired) |
Coming to Mass during Phase 3
Everything in life is different. The way we do things has (for the time being) changed. This includes the practice of our faith and the procedures around coming to church. We have, over the past few weeks, been able to open our church for private prayer. From Wednesday 15th July, we are able, once more, to celebrate Mass with a congregation of 50 people (limited to 20 for funeral celebrations). We will continue to stream Mass during this time, since not everyone will be able to come.
Over 800 people normally worship in our church building on any given weekend. During phase 3, we will be able to accommodate 250 people over 5 weekend Masses. The obligation to attend Mass on a Sunday is currently suspended. Please consider coming another day instead of Sunday and please also (at least for now) think of others by booking for only one Mass per week. We will monitor how this works and adapt accordingly.
Please consider the following before making your booking:
1. Booking is mandatory. Those who do not book to come to Mass risk being turned away at the door. Please arrive no later than 10 minutes before the beginning of Mass.
2. Entry to the church will be by the side door closest to the school (step free access) and exit will be by the main doors at the front of the church. Please observe the one way system and the advice of the stewards. You must stay 2 metres away from others not in your own household when waiting to enter.
3. Face coverings indoors are compulsory. Please bring your own face covering or you risk being denied entry!
4. Upon entry, please sanitise your hands and give your name to the steward. You will be directed to wait for the next available steward who will show you to your seat. You must follow the instruction given by the steward and you will not be able to choose your own seat.
5. You will remain in your place until the celebration of Mass is completed. Communion will be distributed to you at your place. Communion can be taken in the hand only and you must extend your hands fully to receive.
6. When Mass has concluded, the stewards will safely invite you to leave the church. There will not be an opportunity to stay on for private prayer and the church will be cleaned immediately after Mass in preparation for the next celebration.
7. Please use hand sanitiser as you leave!
Masses will be celebrated at the following times (but subject to change in the coming weeks):
Monday-Friday 10 a.m.
Saturday 12noon (Liturgy of Sunday Mass) & 5.30 p.m.
Sundays: 9.30a.m.; 11.30 a.m. & 6 p.m.
