With the rise of the Omicron variant we still need to ensure everyone's safety, so please follow guidance in the church and on the newsletter re sanitising, and wearing face coverings. Please wear a face covering within the church building unless you are exempt.
Father Mark has also formed a WhatsApp group for parishioners to keep up to date, and parish information and copies of the newsletter etc are published there. Please give Fr. Mark your phone number (by email, in person, or a note through the presbytery letterbox) and he'll add you in to the WhatsApp group.
If it is not possible for you to come to the Church for masses, or generally for your preference, we humbly ask that you set up a “Standing Order” for your Sunday offertory. This is the parish account details if you generously choose to do so: Acc Name: RCAS Our Lady of the Assumption tooting, Acc. Number 79136869 Sort Code 605001.

PRAYER FOR GOD’S MIRACLE IN THE WORLD
Heavenly Father, your children are crying to you day and night;
please come to our aids and save the world you created in your goodness.
May we never perished because of this Coronavirus catastrophe,
May your name never be destroyed and forgotten.
For the sake of your name, please come and save us. AMEN
