All Public Worship Cancelled

In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, so many aspects of our lives must change. This includes the ways in which we publicly express our faith.

It is very clear that following official advice and in order to keep each other safe, save lives and support the NHS, at this time we must not gather for public acts of worship in our churches. This will be from now until further notice.
Sacramental Reconciliation will also be suspended. The hospital chaplains will take care of all hospital visits for those who will need the sacrament of the sick.

Please call the parish office if there is an emergency and we will try to work out how we can help.

We will update our website soon with details of how you can watch a live stream from our Cathedral in Clifton and any useful prayer resources we can find.

For now, please view/download:

Stay safe and contact the parish office if you, or someone you know, need practical or emotional help as we will do our best to get you some help.

Coronavirus Update

In light of current events, there are likely to be many changes made to how we worship over the coming weeks and months. For now as of today 18th March 2020 we are planning services as normal throughout the week and weekend with the “Stage 2” measures in place.

All of this could change and we are currently awaiting news from the Diocese on how to proceed with services.

For now, please do not come to Church if you have any of the symptoms - dry cough or fever. We also ask that people sit much further away from each other when in the church to assist with social distancing.

Please contact the Parish Office via email or phone should you need any assistance if you are self-isolating, as we will try to give practical help.

We want you all to remain safe and well, that includes looking out for the health of our Parish Priests and the Deacons and all who work or volunteer for the Church.

Congratulations Canon Frank!

Congratulations to Fr Frank who was installed as an Honourary Canon of the Diocese at a special ceremony at the Cathedral on Tuesday 25th February. Many parishioners came along to see Canon Frank receive this honour from Bishop Declan along with Canon Gregory Grant and Canon Christopher Whitehead who were made Chapter Canons.

More photos from the day are available on the Clifton Diocese website.

A special celebration coffee morning was held at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish on the morning of 29th February to celebrate this wonderful honour for Canon Frank.
