A WELCOME FROM THE PARISH PRIEST

 

 

 

Welcome to the website for Saint John of Beverley Parish, in Beverley. 

See Bulletin for details.

The Parish of Sacred Heart, Hornsea and Most Holy Sacrament, Marton is also served from here.

Canon David Grant

 

13th week in Ordinary Time​

​

Attention children's liturgists or simply parents with primary age children! The Canon has sent a link from a primary teacher in Scotland who has been posting 10-minute children's liturgies online. Although we are just about to be able to worship publicly now, she intends to continue with these videos for some weeks. Her FaceBook page is called 'Children's Liturgy during Lockdown', and she has uploaded her liturgies to You Tube. I've just listened to the one for last Sunday - the Feast of Ss Peter and Paul and it is lovely. Anyway please use it as you see fit.

Further note from the Diocese re: Mass Protocol - the Bishop has digested the key points in this letter and has given a link to the Government website guidance. 30 June 2020

​

Andrew Proctor would deeply like to thank those who have sent him emails and prayers of support.  30 Jun 2020

​

New note from the Canon, 30 June 2020:

Addendum

 

Please note. Once the celebration of Mass resumes in our Churches the special times for private prayer will cease. In Hornsea the church was only open when a Mass or Service was taking place whereas in Beverley the church was usually open every day. Hopefully if and when things return to where they were before the pandemic St John's church will open again outside of Mass times.

We still need at least two volunteers to act as marshalls at every Mass so your help with this would be much appreciated – please contact Canon Grant.

ALSO I  would like to highlight the point in the Bishop’s letter that members of the congregation should use facemasks when attending Mass.

​

From 4th July, our churches will be able to open for Mass on Sundays and during the week. See latest newsletter from the Canon, 27th June 2020.

​

In  his message, the Canon asks us to read and consider the recommendations in the Guidance for Celebrating Mass from Bp Terry. 27th June 2020

Warning message from the Canon to parishioners, 3rd June 2020.  Please be aware of a scam which may still be circulating. It asks you to subscribe to gift cards (or money) to be given to sick priests. If you get an email like this, please delete it. Neither the Canon nor Fr Francis will ever ask for money or donations in this way.
