Confessions: Saturdays 5 – 5.30 at Kidlington & Wednesdays 11.30 – 12 at Woodstock (after mass). In these challenging times, it would be helpful if you arrange a prior appointment to do so. So that I could organize for the sacrament to be celebrated as safely as possible.

Holy Rosary – Normally recited before the Vigil mass on Saturday

Kindly note that there is no day mass on Saturdays, as we hold the Sunday Vigil mass on Saturday evening.

Now that there are no mandatory guidelines it is now left to the individual and the communities to take responsibility for keeping oneself safe and more importantly keeping others comfortable and safe.

Some suggestions are listed below

If you feel unwell, or likely to have caught flu-like symptoms, avoid public places and take extra care to keep it spreading to others. You would know it best and do not expect the others to guess your health condition. Always think that the other is vulnerable, however resilient you think you may be.
Sanitize your hands as needed and avoid touching your face or shaking hands, unless needed.
Wearing masks in church is no longer needed. But please do if you feel the need. It would be best to wear a mask when it is deemed unsafe or crowded as it best suits you. Please respect those who may be wearing one.
Respect the others, make them comfortable by keeping a distance or checking with them before shaking hands, etc.

Use of Microphone on the Lectern – Please do not adjust the microphone on the lectern. It is a ‘lectern microphone’ different from the voice handheld individual performance microphones. It is also different from the microphone you used in the past, it is a new install, and it is very sensitive.

Lectern microphones must not be moved from their position as it is set not to interfere with the Lectionary-book, paper, etc. Touching and banging on it affects adversely those using the hearing aid system (loop system) as they are very sensitive. The only thing you adjust is your voice and the direction of your voice’s projection. Otherwise, if you bang on it or pull it closer, it distorts the sound and it can shut itself off too. This also avoids harming the sound system.

If you need the microphone closer to the mouth, kindly use the stand-alone microphone which is left on Our Lady’s side. Thank you.

If you feel that you ‘must’ adjust the lectern microphone, then please best to not take up reading from the lectern during the Holy Mass.

It is a great thing to be able to train ourselves and our children to read out, project, and proclaim. Even though one on the lectern may feel they are addressing a whole church, what they need to do is only to speak out to the microphone which is no further than the stretch of an arm’s length. It is a wonderful thing to be trained to speak properly at a lectern.

General Mass Prayers for Sundays General_Mass_Prayers_for_Sundays

Sunday mass readings for the upcoming Sundays for your own read and reflection. It may be helpful for readers (Lectors) to practice and preparation to make it heard and clear, as best as it could be FOR THE OTHER! You are called to service, not simply for acquiring skills or gaining public confidence!!
