​​COVID-19 Update: January 2021

​The situation in Plymouth: latest update.  We are now in a third national lockdown in order to help control the spread of COVID-19.  The rates in Plymouth are still rising and our rate is the highest that it has ever been, despite having been in lockdown now for two weeks. You will have heard of the new variant of COVID-19. The patterns that we are seeing in our COVID-19 cases at the moment make me very concerned that we are seeing the effects of the new variant.  Click the link for the full report.

Bishop Mark addresses the Faithful on the new Lockdown –
​5th January 2021

Bishop Mark's Message
​My dear brothers and sisters,
The one piece of 'good news' in the advice issued by the Government, following the Prime Minister's address last night, was that people can still attend public Mass. This present 'lockdown' will, therefore, be different to what we experienced between March and June of last year. It is a blessing that people can still visit Church, and that we are able to continue to celebrate Mass publicly. We know this is not the case in some other places.

Open churches vital for resilience during lockdown, ​says Cardinal

With the announcement of a new lockdown for England to curb the rapid spread of COVID-19, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, said:

“The regular practice of our faith in God is a well-established source of both personal resilience and dedicated service to those in need. Such resilience and enduring service are vital in these difficult circumstances.
“I am glad that no measures have been introduced that would obstruct or curtail this essential source of energy for the common good. Catholic parishes will continue to serve the needs of their local community.
“In one parish, for example, the provision of food for the needy has increased by 400% since March last year.”
​

The latest lockdown restrictions come into force on 5th January 2021.
