Monday 19th July 2021 (Freedom Day)
Monday 19th July 2021 is Freedom Day, the day where nearly all of the Covid-19 restrictions will be removed, and life will return to how it was in early 2020. However the Bishop of London has urged caution about rushing back to the pre-Covid way of doing things, so please take care when coming to church, and be mindful of others. You can read more from the Bishop of London here: https://www.churchofengland.org/media-and-news/press-releases/bishop-london-urges-caution-and-pays-tribute-vaccinators-restrictions?fbclid=IwAR1XmZJcoSiLOhM1ovr8oYCT_mDHgcJ9uln6l5ewQdK_yMhZQpnYsF-HbLw.

Take care, and God bless everyone.

Ordinary Time 2021
We are now in a period of the church year called Ordinary Time. This does not mean, however, that we are entering a boring period in our church calendar, but quite the opposite. At the time of writing we are still not able to sing as a congregation, or fellowship inside the church building. Hopefully this will change on 21st June 2021, we await further guidance from HM Government. For the time being please remember to wear a mask, and to sanitise you hands when entering and leaving church.
Service times at St. Edmund’s remain the same:
Sundays: 11AM – Mass
Wednesdays: 1215PM Mass
On Sunday 6th June 2021 we are celebrating Corpus Christi. The society has made the devotional video below:
Everyone is welcome to our services. Please say safe and we hope to see you soon.
