R.C. DIOCESE OF MOTHERWELL

As the parish moves forward in facing the challenges of the pandemic, in consultation with the Diocesan coordinator, several adjustments have been made to the restrictions on public worship in St. Leonard's. Most importantly, it is no longer necessary to book in advance to attend Holy Mass ; just turn up and you will be made most welcome. A section of the church is reserved for those who are anxious about social distancing and everyone else may sit where they wish. Face coverings ( except for those with exemptions), hand sanitising and "track and trace" protocols are still mandatory.

“For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission.”
 

Pope Francis invites us all to take part in the Synod which will reflect on these themes. Every parish is asked to come together in prayer, listening and discernment to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us. In communion with each other, we experience that “we belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God” (I Corinthians 3.23). Bishop Toal will mark the beginning of this synodal process with the celebration of Mass in Motherwell Cathedral on Sunday 17^th October at 3pm. Make a note of this in your diary and take part in this important diocesan event. Please let your Parish Priest know you wish to attend.
