NB. Please note that you cannot book for Mass by leaving a message on the answer machine. You must speak to the volunteer on the line in order to book your place.
Following the guidelines set out by the Bishops' Conference of Scotland regarding the reopening of Churches,
all parishioners who visit the Church
must wear a face mask/covering
and observe social distancing at all times.
The Church will also be cleaned and sanitised following the necessary requirements.
You can find more information regarding the guidance set out by the Bishops Conference here.
Dear Parishioners of St Marys & St Bernard’s, as the weekend Mass will be busy
you may choose to attend Holy Mass on a different day of the week; in the
expectation that crowds will be smaller. Also, please remember that the obligation
to attend Sunday Mass still remains suspended.
Finally, do not attend Mass even one that you have previously booked in for, if you
feel in any way unwell or vulnerable.
