Yesterday, the First Minister has announced that we may now move to Phase 2 of the Re-Opening of our Churches. Following the Statement of the First Minister, who continues to urge us to be cautious and the criteria laid out by the relevant Bishops\u2019 Conference Committees, our process for Re-Opening Our Churches into Phase 2 will be as follows.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Monday 22nd<\/sup> June 2020<\/u><\/strong> Funeral Masses<\/strong> may be celebrated in the Diocese of Paisley from Monday 22nd<\/sup> June 2020.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The maximum permitted congregation is 12 people.<\/p>\n

    Appropriate stewarding and santisation measures must be in place.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Sunday 28th<\/sup> June<\/u><\/strong>, the first Sunday after the lockdown eases, churches may open for personal prayer.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Appropriate stewarding and santisation measures must be in place.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Sunday 5th<\/sup> July<\/u><\/strong>, churches may open for personal prayer. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Appropriate stewarding and santisation measures must be in place.<\/p>\n

          A number of matters still need to be clarified, and we await a statement from the Bishops\u2019 Conference which we hope will provide this.<\/p>\n

          The First Minister is due to review the situation and report to Parliament on any developments on 2nd<\/sup> July. Once we have begun Phase 2 we will prepare for Phase 3. We will keep you advised of any developments. <\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n

          Just leave everything in the Sacred Heart and begin again with joy.
