At last we will be able to receive the Body of our Lord during Holy Service at St Edmunds!
For good practice, common sense and safety for us all, the service will not be as we are used to.
Information on ‘what to do’ and ‘what not to do’ can be found HERE so that when you come to church you will aware of happenings before, during and after the service.
Fr John Oakes will be the celebrant.
